He’s Fighting to Protect Doctors in Nebraska | John Cavanaugh for Congress

👀 Brett Lindstrom just launched a TV ad targeting Nebraska Gov. Jim Pillen over a $2.5 MILLION no-bid contract.

The commercial raises questions about favoritism and government accountability.

But will this attack change the governor’s race?

I break down the ad and its political implications in my latest Campaign Spot.

A cartoon governor, a luxury jet, and a $2.5 million no-bid state contract.

On this edition of Campaign Spot, Dan Parsons reviews “Jet Setting on Your Dime,” a new America First Party commercial targeting Governor Jim Pillen and the controversy surrounding a state contract awarded to Julie Bushell’s company.

What does the ad say about access, influence and taxpayer accountability? And could Brett Lindstrom’s candidacy change the outcome of Nebraska’s governor’s race?

Lindstrom, a former Republican who challenged Pillen in the 2022 GOP primary, gives voters another choice alongside Pillen and Democrat Lynne Walz. Dan examines whose support Lindstrom might attract, and why that matters heading into November 3.

The commercial is paid for by the America First Party and authorized by Lindstrom for Nebraska.

Who do you think Lindstrom’s candidacy helps, and who does it hurt? Share your thoughts in the comments.
