My good friend Ryan Anderson has the story on New Nebraska Network:
I just got off the phone with Scott Kleeb, who is headed East on I-80 towards the fight of his political life: “I’m going to Lincoln tomorrow to file for the United States Senate,” he told me. “It’s just the first step in what’s going to be a long and hard fought campaign, but I will be taking that first step tomorrow.”
We did it, no….you did it! You got involved in our campaign. From the beginning, this is what Draft Kleeb was about – it was about you, it about us, it was about building a better Nebraska. We set out to do away with the smoke filled room and WE drafted OUR candidate into this race.
But there is so much more to do! Let us affirm that this is our campaign by buying a piece of it today. A donation today will go to helping build a stronger Democratic majority in Washington, and to help rebuild the Democratic Party in Nebraska.
Here is the link to the donations page I have set through ActBlue.
Scott will face a primary challenge from failed Bush nominee Tony Raimondo (who switched parties just weeks before he announced a run for Senate, and a month after ending his Republican campaign for Senate) and the general election fight with Former Governor Mike Johanns.
Now thing about it, how often to we get a chance to beat not one, but TWO Republicans in one race! It can, and will be done – but not without your help.

Also, take a look at Scott’s amazing new website, his Logo contest, and his Facebook page.
Ryan mentions this in his post, but I will be heading down to Lincoln to live blog Scott’s filing and informing people about how the process works. I will have a post up before I leave around 7 a.m. Central. Thank you all of your help in this campaign!
