WASHINGTON, D.C. – Republican Governors Association Chairman Chris Christie issued the following statement regarding the outcome of tonight’s gubernatorial primary election in Nebraska:

“From among a strong field of candidates, Nebraska Republicans tonight placed their confidence in a natural leader and true fiscal conservative, Pete Ricketts. With years of private sector business experience under his belt and a deep-seated drive to uphold Nebraska values, Ricketts will bring unmatched perspective and savvy to the governor’s office. Ricketts will lead Nebraska with passion and purpose, building upon Governor Heineman’s commitment to limited, efficient government and preserving the state’s proud tradition as a great place to live, work, start a business and raise a family. The Republican Governors Association is proud to support Pete Ricketts’ campaign and congratulates him on his victory tonight.”
