There is a post this morning about State Senator John Cavanaugh of Nebraska being a Trumper. It is not true! Because the Senator voted for eliminating income taxes on overtime and tips, a conservative PAC said he was voting with Trump. From there millions of dollars were spent against the Senator by conservative PACs. Lie after lie was spread 24/7 on TV and radio ads. Apparently the ads paid off. The Senator is down by about 1,000 votes. Election workers in Douglas County still have thousands of ballots left to count, and the Powell and Cavanaugh camps are both treating the race as undetermined.

I will support the winner of the race. I just want to clear the air about Senator Cavanaugh.
