Nebraska’s First Lady Endorses Patty Pansing Brooks For Congress

By Tom Stanton Oct 12, 2022 | 10:00 AM

Nebraska First Lady Susanne Shore has endorsed Democratic Congressional Candidate Patty Pansing Brooks in a newly released video that highlights their shared passion for children.

“I’m passionate about helping all of our children thrive and succeed,” Shore said in the video. “I want to make sure those who can’t always advocate for themselves have a person in their corner fighting for them. During my time as your First Lady, one legislator has proven that she will always use her voice to fight for not only those kids and their families, but for all Nebraskans — that’s Patty Pansing Brooks,” Shore says.

“From her work to guarantee legal counsel for our youth in the juvenile justice system to her advocacy for survivors of heinous sex trafficking crimes, Patty has shown that she is not only tough on crime, but relentless in her work to uplift those who need it the most,” she said. “If there’s one thing Patty has proven during her time in office, it’s that she will have your back. I’ve seen her do it in the Legislature, I’ve seen her do it for our kids, for women and for families.  And in Congress, I know she’ll do it for you.

Shore’s husband, Governor Pete Ricketts, is supporting Republican Mike Flood in the 1st District Congressional Race.
