Vince Powers, state chair of the Nebraska Democratic Party, released the following statement Monday in response to the announcement that Sen. Mike Johanns (R-NE) will retire at the end of his current term:
“The Nebraska Democratic Party wishes Senator Johanns the best of luck in his upcoming endeavors. With Johanns’ retirement, the Nebraska Republican Party continues to define their future by skewing even more to the right thanks to State Senator Charlie Janssen’s announcement today that he will run for Governor in 2014 and Governor Heineman stalling his ill-conceived tax plan to hurt Nebraska’s middle class.”
