FARMER WHO SUPPORTED FISCHER: “DC DEB HAS LOST MY VOTE”
Lincoln, NE - Surrounded by farmers and Nebraskans whose livelihoods are in jeopardy due to Washington’s trade war, the Raybould for U.S. Senate campaign unveiled its first television ad — the first of any candidate to release a TV ad in the general election.
“For decades, my family has been working with Nebraska’s producers to support local businesses and bring the bounty of Nebraska to our grocery stores and the hundreds of thousands of Nebraskan families shopping in our stores. Today, my campaign for US Senate is shining a spotlight on Senator Fischer’s failure to not only stand up for Nebraska’s agricultural economy, but her gross malpractice in working against our state’s interests. As farm bankruptcies are on the rise in Nebraska, DC Deb is sitting pretty with a networth that’s grown more than tenfold since she took office,” said Jane Raybould.
“In 2012, I donated to Senator Fischer’s campaign because I believed she would do what she was promising back then, that as a rancher she would look out for folks like me. But instead, Senator Fischer has voted against our interests and is a part of the problem in Washington — she’s pushing family farms like mine past the breaking point,” said Raybould supporter, former President of the Ag Builders of Nebraska, Ben Steffen.
Steffen continued, “One thing is crystal clear: Deb Fischer’s gone Washington. She’s voting with her political party 98 percent of the time, even when it hurts Nebraskans, and all the while getting rich herself. After nearly six years in Washington, it’s about time that we help Senator Fischer get reacquainted with how things work back on her ranch.”

A grocery store owner and faithful Catholic, Jane Raybould knows what it means to serve her community — to put community before self. She is running for the United States Senate to cut through the partisan bickering and get things done for Nebraskans, like her customers. Jane boldly announced she would refuse donations from corporate PACs because she knows the special interests hold too much sway in Washington. Her opponent, incumbent Senator Deb Fischer has enriched herself in office and voted with her party 98% of the time — even when those policies are harmful to Nebraskans.
