State Senator Dave Bloomfield Endorses Don Bacon

Statement

Retired Brigadier General Don Bacon, candidate for the United States Congress, announced today that he has received the endorsement of State Senator Dave Bloomfield (Legislative District 17) in his bid to represent Nebraska in the Second District.

"I have had the opportunity to get to know Don Bacon," said Senator Bloomfield. "I believe that he would be a great representative in Washington D.C. for the state of Nebraska. General Bacon (he has asked that I call him Don and I will from now on) has served our nation for many years, I respect that. Given the makeup of our world today, I think we need people with a good understanding of the military as well as a strong dose of Nebraska "common sense" as leaders. I know that Don has roots that go deep in agriculture which is Nebraska's most important industry. I trust him to do what is best for Nebraska and for the United States of America. With that in mind I am proud to endorse him for the U.S. House of Representatives. Don Bacon is a good man, and we need him in D.C.!"

Don Bacon said, "I am grateful to Senator Dave Bloomfield for his support and I respect him for his leadership in the Legislature. A man who has been dubbed a "Citizen Legislator,' Dave Bloomfield is well known for being a good listener and a thoughtful member of our Unicameral. From Vietnam to our statehouse, he has dedicated a significant part of his life to safeguarding the interests of our fellow citizens. He is a veteran who comes from a family of veterans, and I appreciate his efforts to make our nation economically competitive again and to ensure we have a strong national security."
