And they should be. You'll recall that Scott Kleeb was the first candidate we raised money for last week. Seems we may have been prescient.
From the Lincoln Journal Star:
In the surest sign the 3rd District congressional seat is up for grabs, the National Republican Congressional Committee may be poised to commit resources to the race....If you can spare any more change, please help Scott out. I've met him, he's good. We've already raised $12,000 for Scott, let's see if we can make it a cool 15 or 20 by the end of Sunday (more on Scott here), and keep you contributions coming in to the other candidates (links at the top of the site). Thanks.
If the GOP congressional committee enters the race in the final 10 days of the campaign, it would be confirmation that poll numbers have uncovered a tight struggle between Republican nominee Adrian Smith and Democratic nominee Scott Kleeb.
The 69-county 3rd District seat had been considered safely Republican at the beginning of the campaign.
Western and central Nebraska hasn’t elected a Democrat to the House since 1958, when Don McGinley won a single term.
Kleeb, 31, a Dunning ranch hand with two post-graduate degrees from Yale, has raised more than $700,000, far more than any previous Democratic candidate in the district.
