After much anticipation, I am happy to announce the launch of a Scott Kleeb bio section of the website as well as a new Meet Scott YouTube video!
Information and text for the bio was taken from Scott's 2006 Congressional website as well as other media outlets. The video is pieces of Scott's campaign ads in 2006. We intend to launch more in the futue.
(Make sure to make this campaign your own by pledging for Scott. We are nearing 100 people and almost 365 working days worth of volunteering! Click here to pledge...)
Here is some of the bio:
"I think it's time for a new generation of political leadership here in Nebraska."
Scott Kleeb was born overseas on a U.S. Army base on August 23, 1975.
Scott's great-grandfather, Albert Kleeb, was born in a dug-out outside of Broken Bow, Nebraska, before the turn of the century. He once hiked three days to earn 20 ewes and a dollar in exchange for his farm goods. This windfall was to be the origins of the Kleeb family farm and ranch, which stood outside of Broken Bow for nearly 100 years. It was here, listening to his grandfather's homesteading stories - tales of neighbors coming together to build a new home, or to dig a well - that Scott came to cherish the values and traditions of Nebraska. And it was here, as he saw the impact of government investments in rural electrification, highways and agricultural infrastructure, that he learned how government can help change lives for the better.
Scott's parents, Al and JoAnn Kleeb, served as elementary and high school teachers for the sons and daughters of American military personnel living abroad, and Scott and his sister Shawn spent much of their childhood on an Army base in Italy.
Scott learned from an early age what it meant to be a representative for Nebraska and the United States to another part of the world. It was a role he took seriously. Before leaving Italy, he would be MVP for the wrestling and soccer teams and valedictorian or his senior class. During his senior year, he was named to the Top 40 Teen Recognition Programs by the US Army Europe Commander in Chief for accomplishments in community service, leadership and extracurricular activities.
"Politics is the noblest of callings if done for the right reasons."
