Nebraska Democratic Party Response to Senator Mike McDonnell’s Party Change
LINCOLN, NE – The Nebraska Democratic Party Chair Jane Kleeb issues the following statement regarding Senator Mike McDonnell’s decision to register as a Republican:
“The Nebraska Democratic Party will continue to stand up for reproductive freedom and the human rights of the LGBTQ community. Our decision to censure Sen. McDonnell was never about him being a pro-life Catholic. Our decision was based on our party reaffirming our core values to protect women’s ability to make health decisions and to keep politicians out of our personal health decisions. We respect the ongoing work of Senator McDonnell on behalf of unions and his commitment to protect a fair electoral vote system we have in our state.”
Both the State Party Chair Jane Kleeb and Douglas County Party Chair CJ King are available for interviews by contacting Jose Flores (402-215-1052, jose@nebraskademocrats.org).
