Dear Voter:

Today in your mailbox, you may have received a flier from Adam Hornung with a big blue donkey on it. As Chair of the Lancaster County Democratic Party, I was more than a little surprised. You see, Adam is not a Democrat. He is a Republican. More than that, he is a conservative Republican.

Adam presents himself as a proponent of Democratic values in an attempt to get your vote. Adam is not the first wolf in sheep’s clothing but you should know what is really going on. His donors are a list of who’s who of monied interests in Lincoln. They think he will be on their side. They believe he will vote as the conservative he is. They expect Adam to stall efforts to move Lincoln forward. And, so do I.

Beyond that, Adam would like for voters to believe that Democrats in Lincoln support his candidacy, but his mail piece is inaccurate and misleading. Of the names listed as Democratic supporters of Adam Hornung:

Two are not registered as Democrats.

Three are not residents of Lincoln and cannot vote in the Lincoln City Election.

Kristi Mulliner, who offers a glowing comment about Adam on the flier, has not voted since registering here in 2005. Mulliner did not cast a ballot last November for President though nearly 180,000 of her neighbors in Lancaster County did. Nor was she passionate enough in her convictions about Adam’s capabilities as a leader to vote in the City Primary Election on April 7, 2009—just twenty-three days ago.

Adam lists his sister and brother-in-law on the flier as well. Though listed as Heidi and Joe Scherr, they use the last name Hornung-Scherr. This name is on both of their voter registrations. His sister uses Hornung-Scherr in her legal practice. Hornung’s campaign even used it on their most recent report with Nebraska Accountability and Disclosure. The flier, however, deletes “Hornung” from their last name, listing them only as Scherr.

I believe Adam Horning is intentionally misleading the voters of Lincoln. I thought you should know the truth before casting your ballot this Tuesday, May 5th.

Sincerely,
Becki Gaston
Chair, Lancaster County Democratic Party
