LINCOLN — The Pete Ricketts for Governor Campaign announced the hiring of Debbie Borg as the campaign’s Agriculture Field Director. Borg will add to a Ricketts Farm-Ranch Team and conduct outreach in rural communities across Nebraska. “Debbie is a highly respected leader in Nebraska agriculture, and we’re fortunate to be able to call upon her experience and knowledge,” said Ricketts campaign manager Jessica Flanagain. “Governor Ricketts is getting the job done for Nebraska farmers and ranchers, and no one is better suited to communicate that message than Debbie Borg.”
“Pete Ricketts understands the challenges faced by Nebraska ag producers, and his continued leadership is critical to the strength of agriculture in our state,” said Borg. “It’s an honor to join the Governor’s re-election campaign and help share his vision for Nebraska’s number-one industry.”
