Nebraska’s first lady gives middle finger to her husband, endorses pro-LGBTQ Dem over his antigay GOP pick
We’d love to be a fly on the wall in the Nebraska Governor’s Mansion right now.Susanne Shore, wife of Nebraska’s Republican governor Pete Ricketts, just endorsed the pro-LGBTQ Democrat seeking to represent the state’s 1st Congressional District over the pro-Trump, anti-LGBTQ Republican her husband endorsed earlier this year.Shore just released a video throwing her “wholehearted support” behind Democrat Patty Pansing Brooks for U.S. House, citing Brooks’ passion for serving others, especially children, as her main reason for doing so.“During my time as your first lady,” she says, “one legislator has proven that she will always use her voice to fight for not only those kids and their families, but all Nebraskans–that’s Patty Pansing Brooks.”A special message from Susanne Shore, First Lady of Nebraska: "During my time as your First Lady, one legislator has proven that she will always use her voice to fight for not only those kids and their families, but for all Nebraskans — that’s Patty Pansing Brooks." pic.twitter.com/3yrl5m5IYW— Patty Pansing Brooks (@Patty4Nebraska) October 11, 2022Pansing Brooks’ opponent, incumbent Mike Flood, was elected to the U.S.
