LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) - Someone threw a rock through a window of the Nebraska Republican party's downtown Lincoln headquarters Wednesday - the fourth act of vandalism at the building in two years.
Three people were in the building opening mail when the rock went through a window of the state party's executive director, Ryan Hamilton, who was in another part of the building installing security cameras, The Omaha World-Herald reported.
Police estimated the damage at $200, but Hamilton said it would likely cost more because the windows are older and a general contractor might need to fix them.
"The hundreds of thousands of Nebraskans who vote to put their trust in Republicans are not going to be cowed by any small-time vandal," he said.
Lincoln Police spokeswoman Officer Erin Spilker said there was no evidence the vandalism was targeted or a political statement.
Police investigated three vandalism reports at the headquarters in 2018, including someone spray-painting "Abolish ICE" on the building, a BB being fired through the front window, and someone painting "resist" on the building. No arrests have been made in any of the incidents.
Nebraska Democratic Party Chairwoman Jane Kleeb on Wednesday condemned the vandalism and said it had no place in Nebraska politics.
