NE-SD-05
Term-limited State Senator Don Preister is one of the most profoundly decent men who’s served in the Nebraska Legislature. The fact that he’s endorsed Heath Mello as his successor in Legislative District 5 really should tell the voters of South Omaha – and the NNN community – everything they need to know.
This is what I can tell you about Heath Mello. He’s bright. He’s engaging. He’s passionate. And, most importantly, he really does care about regular people. I could toss out plenty of policy positions and personal testimonials that prove his progressive credentials, but nothing is more persuasive than Heath’s simple ability to connect with Nebraskans from every walk of life and every political persuasion.
Serving in the Nebraska Legislature, not only would Mello be a strong voice for the working-class voters of Omaha and Bellevue, he would be an asset to the entire state. With so much experience at so young an age – having learned from elder statesmen like Preister and received on the job training from his former boss, U.S. Senator Ben Nelson – Mello is just the sort of leader we need to guide Nebraska through the difficult times ahead. His is a candidacy of rejuvenation and renewal. You should feel confident in offering him your trust, your support, and your contributions in this important election year.
