LINCOLN, Neb.-Current Nebraska state senator and candidate for the 3rd Congressional District Mike Flood got another big endorsement.
Over the weekend, former University of Nebraska football coach and Congressman, Tom Osborne, announced his endorsement of Flood for the seat.
"Mike Flood is an excellent member of the Legislature and was very effective as Speaker," said Osborne. "I believe that he would take those same skills to Washington in representing Nebraska."
"Tom Osborne has had a tremendous impact not only on our state, but on every life he's touched," said Flood. "I'm honored to have his support."
Flood will face off in the May Primary against longtime member of Congress, Rep. Jeff Fortenberry, who finds himself in a legal battle over contributions to his campaign.
Flood has already received endorsements from Governor Pete Ricketts and former Governor Dave Heineman.
