that Carly will rebuild our economy, repurpose our government, and
renew America. I believe that Carly's creative determination will make
us proud."

capable, straightforward and principled person. As the Chief

decisions in the face of opposition. Carly shares our vision of
an
America that leads from a position of strength, international
reliability, and prosperity. She has plans and hopes for the

Rep. Fortenberry and Howard & Rhonda Hawks join a growing group of
Americans nationwide who support Carly’s candidacy because of her
willingness to challenge the status quo and take on the professional
political class. They will help build a grassroots network of support
in Nebraska and communicate why Carly’s unique and impressive
