Blood sets sights on Nebraska general election race for governor

State Sen. Carol Blood, who breezed through the Democratic primary for Nebraska governor to become the party’s nominee, said she’s sick and tired of hearing she’s fighting an uphill battle.

Undoubtedly, she has signed up for a challenge: Voters here most recently elected a Democrat in 1994, and Republicans’ winning margins have been in double-digits since 1998. She also has dramatically fewer resources than her Republican opponent.

But Blood said she thinks people underestimate her roots and connections across the state, and she plans to continue hitting the road to get her message to voters. That message centers on explaining issues that have long plagued Nebraska and how change — namely, electing her, a Democrat — is required to address them.

“We’re going to tell people the truth, we’re not going to pander … If you want to see a real change, you’ve gotta vote change,” Blood said.
