BEATRICE - A candidate for Governor made a stop in southeast Nebraska on Thursday afternoon.

That candidate, being republican Sen. Brett Lindstrom. Lindstrom made his way to Beatrice, taking the time to field questions from community members and talk about his plan. This all coming just a day after the legislative session wrapped up in Lincoln. Lindstrom reflected on the session.

“Each one that I’ve been through is a different experience,” Lindstrom said. “When it was all said and done I felt good about it. Part of that big package we did on the tax side, ending the tax on social security income was kind of the glue that kept that bill together and working on I for eight years, seeing it over the finish line was very exciting.”

Now, with more time to campaign, Lindstorm plans to hit the road for the next 3.5 weeks before the primary election. Beatrice is one of many stops on the campaign trail.

“Going all across the state of Nebraska is important,” Lindstrom said. “We want to make sure we cover everywhere in the state. We’re going to be traveling all over and that includes Beatrice, I just like to talk to people no matter where they are.”

A recent negative advertisement was aired, aimed at Lindstrom. During his time talking to those in attendance, Lindstrom said he was intrigued by the ad, saying it shows other candidates are scared and have him on their radar. Lindstrom says he and his team aim to remain positive no matter what.

“I can tell you that most Nebraskans do not like the negative campaign, if not all, I can’t think of any that has liked it,” Lindstrom said. “We’re going to continue to remain positive, and I think that’s the difference between our campaign versus the other campaigns.”

UNL regent Jim Pillen and Falls City Angus farmer Charles Herbster have received a number of big name endorsements. Former President Donald Trump has endorsed Herbster and current Nebraska Governor Pete Ricketts has sided with Pillen. However, Lindstrom is confident in the endorsements he’s received.

“Numerous state senators have endorsed, Omaha Mayor Stothert has endorsed, local community mayors, many county commissioners have endorsed and I would take our endorsements all day everyday,” Lindstrom said. “Almost all voters don’t decide based on an endorsement, they’re going to look at the candidate and determine who best represents them.”
