Nebraska Governor-elect Pete Ricketts says his easy election victory over Democrat Chuck Hassebrook was a product of a very tight primary race.
Ricketts says there is no substitute from the experience of going through a tough primary. . .

Ricketts says he listened to Nebraskans…and decided against financing the campaign himself. Ricketts says that allowed Nebraska voters to have a stake in his campaign.

Ricketts has already met with Governor Dave Heineman and says he will lean on the governor’s experience during the two-month transition. . .

Ricketts will be officially sworn in as Governor January 8th.
