The Nebraska Republican Party is reminding voters that former Congressman Jeff Fortenberry’s name will appear on the ballot next Tuesday even though he has resigned and suspended his campaign.
“Republicans in the 1st Congressional District are encouraged to vote for a candidate in the primary for Congress,” says NEGOP Chairman Dan Welch. “We want to be clear that while Jeff Fortenberry’s name appears on the ballot, he has resigned from Congress and is not seeking reelection.”
Welch says they are issuing an alert as a friendly reminder for folks who may not have heard that names on the ballot were finalized before his resignation.
