There is a political divide in the Nebraska governor’s mansion. Governor Pete Ricketts is supporting Republican Mike Flood in Nebraska’s 1st Congressional District race.
His wife, First Lady Susanne Shore, is supporting Democratic nominee Patty Pansing Brooks. Flood and Pansing Brooks are running in the June 28th special election to fill the remainder of former Congressman Jeff Fortenberry’s term.
In a Tweet on Thursday Pansing Brooks said “Lucky me! I happy and grateful to say I am endorsed and generously supported by my friend, Nebraska First Lady Susanne Shore!”
Pansing Brooks and Flood will square off again in the November general election for a two-year term.
