Former United States Sen. Bob Kerrey (D-Neb.) praised both Democrats and Republicans in a new ad for his Senate campaign, highlighting the careful position he is taking in a state that leans toward conservatism.
It's the second round of ads for Kerrey since he announced in February he would mount a fight to reclaim his old seat. Kerrey's campaign did not disclose any details about the ad buy.
"The Democrats are right to cut taxes for working people and raise them for high earners, while making healthcare more affordable," Kerrey said in the ad. "The Republicans are right about the need to cut regulatory costs and simplify the tax code to promote economic growth." Obviously looking for votes from both sides.
Kerrey points to the problem with both parties is their refusal to vote for good ideas championed by the other party. In a state with a state unicameral government Nebraskans have learned to work together and not follow along party lines.
"It's good to be back," Kerrey says. "I sponsored this message because I'm not afraid to do what's right."
,Kerry moved from Nebraska to New York, where he ran the New School in Manhattan. He used similar language in his first round of ads in March.
Democrats recruited Kerrey to return to the Senate after Nelson announced his retirement and Democrats found themselves without a viable candidate to hold his seat. Polling suggests Kerrey has a lot of work to do to overtake the Republican nominee.
