Omaha Mayor Mike Fahey shut the door on a U.S. Senate bid Tuesday, but kept his options open for a possible run for a third term as mayor.
In deciding against a Senate run, Fahey said he was committed to getting several things accomplished as Omaha mayor, such as securing a long-term contract to keep the College World Series in Omaha.
“All the things I have on my plate, at this time, there are large items that need to be completed,” Fahey said. “And, I didnt think it would be fair to the people who elected me, if I left in midstream to go campaign.”
Fahey said he would decide sometime next year whether to run for re-election.”
This opens the door for Scott Kleeb to throw his hat into the ring. Make sure to head over to DraftKleeb.com and show your support by signing the petition or donating to his potential campaign.
I want to thank Mayor Fahey for making a quick decision. Scott Kleeb said he would wait until Fahey announced.
