Nebraska Democratic Party Statement on JD Vance Visiting Nebraska’s Third Congressional District

LINCOLN, NE – The Nebraska Democratic Party Chair and ASDC President Jane Kleeb issued the following statement regarding JD Vance’s planned visit to Nebraska’s Third Congressional District this week: 

“This coming Thursday, JD Vance will visit North Platte to try to save the sinking campaigns of Pete Ricketts and Jim Pillen.

This last Saturday, Vance stood in front of Joey Amor, whose wife, Master Sgt. Nicole Amor, was killed in Kuwait by an Iranian strike one day into an unnecessary war started by Donald Trump. Joey asked who would be held accountable for his wife’s death. Vance acted like he was hearing about it for the first time.

Seven months later, the failures at that base have been reported again and again. Pretending not to know is the most callous possible response to a grieving husband.

Our military families deserve better than a Vice President who doesn’t know what’s happening on the ground.

Ricketts paid a Colorado firm to come up with our state slogan, “Nebraska. Honestly, it’s not for everyone.” It finally rings true for JD Vance.”
