SCOTTSBLUFF, NE – Congressman Adrian Smith has received endorsements for his re-election campaign from 54 trusted conservative Republican leaders from across Nebraska. 

U.S. Senator Deb Fischer said, “Adrian Smith is a trusted conservative leader. He has been a champion of expanding fair trade for Nebraska’s farmers, ranchers and manufacturers on a global scale. Adrian prioritized cutting taxes and has delivered, helping write and pass the most sweeping tax reform since Ronald Reagan was President. I fully endorse Adrian Smith to continue representing Nebraska’s Third Congressional District.” 

Governor Jim Pillen said, “Adrian Smith has delivered for Nebraska time and time again. He is firmly pro-life and has fought against taxpayer funded abortions. Adrian is a champion for our farmers, securing critical trade deals and standing strong against unfair foreign trade practices. Adrian’s record speaks for itself, and I wholeheartedly endorse his re-election.” 

State Senator Teresa Ibach of Sumner said, “Congressman Adrian Smith is the right leader for the Third Congressional District. Adrian embodies our values of hard work, common sense, and standing up for what’s right. He has been a tireless advocate for Nebraska families, farmers, and businesses, and his leadership on the Ways and Means Committee is crucial in navigating these challenging times. I’m proud to call Adrian a friend, and I urge everyone to join me in supporting his re-election.” 

University of Nebraska Regent Rob Schafer of Beatrice said, “Nebraska is home to 150,000 veterans, something our state takes great pride in. Congressman Adrian Smith has been a strong fighter for those veterans, from helping them cut through the red tape and resolve problems with the VA, to supporting legislation such as the Veterans Agricultural Apprenticeship Act. Adrian Smith is the clear choice to represent Nebraska’s veterans, and I am proud to endorse him for Nebraska’s 3rd Congressional District.”
