AGC’s Nebraska Building Chapter & Nebraska Chapter Present National PAC Check to Senate Candidate Deb Fischer

In June, representatives from the Nebraska Building Chapter and the Nebraska Chapter met with U.S. Senate candidate Deb Fischer (R) to present her with an AGC PAC check. Fischer is challenging former Governor and Senator Bob Kerrey (D) for the open seat, which became available when current Sen. Ben Nelson (D) decided not to seek re-election.  At this time, the race is rated as a likely Republican pick-up. As a state senator, Fischer has been supportive of the association’s priorities.  In 2011, she sponsored the Build Nebraska Act, which was signed into law and provides for a portion of the existing sales tax generated dollars to be used for road construction. Members in picture left to right: Chris Kingery, Dick Ludwig, Dan Vokoun, Deb Fischer, Mark Benjamin, Katie Wilson and Tyler Chicoine.
