Bennington Mayor Gordon Mueller Endorses Don Bacon

Press Release

Retired Brigadier General Don Bacon, Republican nominee for the United States Congress, announced today that he has received the endorsement of Mayor Gordon Mueller of Bennington in his bid to represent Nebraska in the Second District.

"My wife Linda and I are proud to support and endorse retired Brigadier General Don Bacon for Congress," said Mayor Mueller. "As a former commander of two of the biggest bases in the United States Air Force, Don Bacon has an intimate knowledge of what it takes to lead a community. From road maintenance to emergency response, he has firsthand experience dealing with the critical issues confronting our cities. Don Bacon also knows how to fix a broken Washington. He understands how bad decisions in Washington tie the hands of local leaders while stymieing businesses. As a military leader, he has a proven track record of building diverse and cohesive teams focused on achieving the mission. We need more tested leaders like this in D.C., instead of politicians focused simply on the next soundbite. As a result, I can think of no better advocate for us in Washington. He will put us back on the right track."

"I thank Mayor Mueller for his endorsement and I am proud to have him and his wife Linda as members of our team," said Bacon. "Our strength as a nation is rooted in strong communities like Bennington and I respect Mayor Mueller for his leadership and devotion to public service. As a city leader and businessman, he has seen firsthand the impact that Washington has on our local area. As our next Congressman, I will regularly meet with the leaders in Bennington and I look forward to working with all of our mayors and city councilmembers to address the issues impacting our community, state, and nation.

Mayor Mueller is the fourth currently serving Mayor to endorse Don Bacon for the Second District. Don Bacon has previously been endorsed by former Omaha Mayor Hal Daub, Bellevue Mayor Rita Sanders, Papillion Mayor David Black, La Vista Mayor Doug Kindig, and former Gretna Mayor Tim Gilligan.
