The Ricketts campaign today responded to Secretary of State John Gale’s decision to place Mike Foley’s name on the ballot as Ricketts’ running mate for lieutenant governor.

 

“We feel this is a sound decision,” said Ricketts campaign manager Matt Miltenberger.  “The State’s Constitution is clear: Nebraskans have given gubernatorial candidates the right to designate their running mates.   In this case, the ballot can now be certified in a manner that accurately reflects the choices before Nebraska voters.”

September 10, 2014 Leave a comment


Pete Ricketts this afternoon announced State Auditor Mike Foley as his running mate, following the resignation of Lt. Gov. Lavon Heidemann earlier today.

 

“Mike Foley is a principled, independent, and reform-minded advocate for the people of Nebraska,” Ricketts said.  “As auditor, he’s worked tirelessly to protect Nebraska taxpayers.  As a state senator, he was a fearless champion of the unborn and our state’s most vulnerable citizens.  Mike has an unyielding commitment to making state government work better for all Nebraskans.”

 

“Not long ago, we were competitors.  Today, I am proud to say we are teammates.  Together, we will deliver a message of new growth and responsible reform that helps shape a brighter future for families and communities across our state.”
