LINCOLN, NE - The Nebraska Democratic Party Chair Jane Kleeb issues the following statement regarding Ashlei Spivey being elected to the state legislature to represent the voters of Legislature District 13 after the Douglas County Election Commission's final ballot count today:
"We are proud of the campaign Ashlei Spivey ran that stayed in touch with working and middle-class voters throughout her district.

"It is an honor to be selected by the voters of District 13 to represent our interests in Lincoln. I look forward to passing policy that puts resources and investment back into our community and across the state - truly helping people have access and opportunity to the good life Nebraska has to offer. It's time to get to work!"
