Scott Kleeb for Congress

I had the pleasure of meeting with Scott Kleeb, graduate of Yale Grad school and candidate for congress in Nebraska's 3rd district. Scott is the newest SNAPPAC-endorsed candidate. I found him to be a very nice guy, with compelling reasons to run for congress. He talked about how his grandparents got electricity in 1947, and how government is supposed to "empower people and set a bold new course for our communities."

Scott is also a brave man. He's running in a heavily Republican district, where six Republicans are competing for their party's nomination. This is the 50-state strategy manifest. As they say "You can't win if you don't run." Good on him.

The SNAP interns that work for his campaign next summer will be lucky: they'll be working on the front lines of the Democratic congressional insurgency, for a young candidate, on a grassroots-focussed campaign.
