Good news for him, but...
I guess it becomes official when there's a press release. Josh and Nikki are leaving Ann Arbor (again) for the wilds of eastern Nebraska. The official announcement came this morning:
"RICKETTS HIRES COLUMBUS NATIVE AS COMMUNICATIONS DIRECTOR
OMAHA, NEBRASKA – The Ricketts campaign today welcomes Nikki Beran Shasserre to its staff as Communications Director. 'We are happy to welcome Nikki to the campaign,' said Pete Ricketts, Republican nominee for Senate. 'Her background in politics and communications brings a lot to the campaign, and it’s always exciting to see young professionals return to Nebraska.'
"Nikki Beran graduated from Columbus Scotus Central Catholic High School and has a degree in Advertising and Public Relations from the University of Nebraska – Lincoln. She was the Deputy Campaign Manager for the Dave Maurstad for Lieutenant Governor Campaign in 1998 and went on to work for the Nebraska Republican Party as Communications Director for the 1999 Midwest Leadership Conference. Beginning in 2000, Nikki Beran accepted a position with Fellowship of Catholic University Students (FOCUS). She joined the organization as Campus Director at the University of Illinois and went on to serve as Director of Public Relations at FOCUS headquarters.
"'I am very excited to be on board with the campaign,' said Shasserre. 'My husband Josh and I have been looking for a chance to return to Nebraska, and it’s a great opportunity to come home and join the campaign. I’ve followed Nebraska politics and Pete’s race, and I’m honored to be able to be part of the effort that will send him to Washington to represent Nebraska.'”
OK. Did he say it's always exciting to see young professionals return to Nebraska? Always? What's so exciting about that? This guy really needs a new communications director. Anyway, pretty sad news, wouldn't you say?
Godspeed friends. Go and do good. We'll miss you. (Except for Josh, whom I'll be driving to and from work for the next 10 days. I don't miss him that much yet).
