SCOTTSBLUFF, NEB. – Hal Daub has announced that he is a candidate for the U.S. Senate seat to be vacated in 2008 by current Sen. Chuck Hagel.

A lifelong Nebraskan and former U.S. Congressman, Omaha Mayor and Republican National Committeeman for the state, Daub made his announcement during an 8 a.m. visit to the Western Nebraska Regional Airport in Scottsbluff.

Daub said he learned many things during their statewide Listening and Learning Tour, which included listening sessions in 93 cities in all 93 Nebraska counties.

“People told us that it’s time to rise above partisan politics, and personal and political agendas,” Daub said. “They told us it’s time to fulfill the needs and carry out the instructions of the Nebraskans who elected them. They all said the same thing. We deserve better. The country deserves better . . . Washington needs to be fixed.

“Working together, we can change the course of this nation,” he said. “It starts with changing the course of the United States Senate. I am here to ask for the opportunity to serve as the agent of that change.”

Daub said he has the experience, the knowledge and the ability to help make government once again accountable to the people it serves.
