Republican U.S. Senator Pete Ricketts and Representative Adrian Smith made their final campaign pitches to voters in Hastings, Nebraska on Monday, ahead of voting on Tuesday. The event was part of Ricketts' 'Hold Defend the Good Life Tour'.
Ricketts, who faces independent Dan Osborn in the U.S. Senate race, said cost of living is the top concern he hears from voters. He told voters they must choose between his 12-year record as governor and senator, or 'somebody who you cannot trust anything he says because he'll say anything he thinks you want to hear to get your vote'. 'You may not agree with everything I do, but you know where I stand,' Ricketts said. 'You know what I'll do. With my opponent, you never will.'
Ricketts called for Congress to pass government funding and finish a farm bill that allows year-round sales of E15, a higher ethanol blend, which he said would increase demand for farmers' products. He also called for permitting changes to make it easier to build houses, roads and oil refineries. Smith said Congress should be mindful of Main Street and protect recent tax cuts, and thanked voters for their support.
