Ricketts Addresses Heidemann Resignation


Pete Ricketts commented today on news of Lt. Gov. Lavon Heidemann announcing his resignation as lieutenant governor and withdrawing from the gubernatorial campaign.

 

“Last night, I received a call from Lt. Gov. Lavon Heidemann, who informed me of his decision to resign as lieutenant governor and withdraw his candidacy for lieutenant governor.

 

“I receive this news with a heavy heart. My prayers continue to be with the Heidemann family at this very difficult time. Lavon has served the State of Nebraska with distinction and integrity for the last decade and he has my gratitude and continued prayers.”

Hassebrook Comments on Heidemann Resignation


“The judge’s decision to issue a restraining order in response to charges of domestic violence must be taken seriously. Families are the very foundation of Nebraska, and Chuck and Kate wish all members of the Heidemann family well as they deal with this troubling situation.
“Nebraskans need to consider a candidate’s judgment as they decide who they will support. Voters will have to decide for themselves what Mr. Ricketts’ choice for Lieutenant Governor says about his judgment.”
Chuck Hassebrook will hold a news conference tomorrow morning. Details regarding the news conference will be released later today.
