Jane Fleming Kleeb is multimedia live-blogging the Nebraska US Senate Primary of her husband, candidate Scott Kleeb at ThinkMTV. Go check out her coverage. Today is going to be a light blogging day for me with a bunch of other stuff I have to do, so direct your attention to Jane.

Scott Kleeb represents the youth of America. Not only is he at 33 still a young Democrat, he has been a friend to the youth movement for many years. His family embodies the commitment to America’s youth. He is married to Jane Fleming-Kleeb, former Young Democrats of America Executive Director and currently of Young Voter PAC. His campaign was built from young activists asking him to run, and Scott answered. Now it is time to show that we are committed to his campaign and everything it represents.

Support Scott on ActBlue

This is a call to all young people and members of the Netroots who want to see Scott in the US Senate. We know he’ll have our back, so we need to have his.

If you contribute the max for the primary, $2,300, you are a Wrangler. All the rest of us are Backers.

We are trying to get to $33,000 by the primary which is on May 13th.

Young people are voting at record numbers and now it’s time to back Scott up with our money. Scott will be the youngest member of the US Senate when we get him elected.

This is our race. We drafted Scott – not party insiders, not the DNC, NDP, or the DSCC. We placed our trust in a (young) people powered candidate and he rose to the challenge.

We can do better than Tony Raimondo in the primary. We can do better than Mike Johanns in the general.

Many people are saying this race is unwinnable. That no matter how hard we work we will fall short.

They also said we wouldn’t show up to vote.

We proved them wrong there, let’s prove them wrong again.

We are the ones, let’s prove it!

Rep. Tom Udall has had an amazing first quarter of fundraising, pulling in $1.3 million. Udall is seeking the U.S. Senate seat left open by Republican Pete Domenici. Udall looks extremely strong against his potential Republican opponents, Heather Wilson and Steve Pearce. As an Arizonan I feel a strong connection to the Udalls’ Democratic legacy. Tom Udall’s father, Stewart Udall, represented Arizona in Congress and served as President Kennedy’s Secretary of the Interior. His uncle Morris Udall represented Arizona in Congress and was a Democratic candidate for President. His cousin Mark Udall is currently in the U.S. House from Colorado, and is now running for U.S. Senate as well (odds are good that Mark is going to be a featured candidate on here in the near future). The Udall family has been the heart and soul of the Democratic Southwest, and it is great to see the new generation continuing the legacy.

The New Mexico Senate seat is one of the Democratic Party’s best pick-up opportunities. To learn more about Tom Udall’s campaign visit his official site.

I had the honor of meeting Lt. Col. Charlie Brown at the California Young Democrats Lake Tahoe Retreat, and I came away knowing that he is a man of experience and character, exactly the qualities needed to be an excellent member of Congress.

Charlie Brown has had a distinguished 26-year Air Force career during which he was involved in every U.S. military conflict from Vietnam to Desert Storm, and has been awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross for heroism during aerial operations.

His experience in the Air Force has resulted in an overwhelming understanding of the costs of war, the importance of providing troops with proper equipment, and the need to ensure that the military is receiving the best possible intelligence.

His post-military career has involved working in finance, promoting fiscal responsibility, and public safety, serving twice as Vice-President of the Roseville Police Association. Charlie Brown’s broad experience makes him uniquely qualified to tackle the myriad issues that affect our county and the people of California’s Fourth Congressional District.

Charlie Brown has been a friend to Young Democrats and young voters across the board, and I am honored to feature him as a candidate.

New Jersey State Senator John Adler has recently reported amazing fundraising numbers in his campaign for New Jersey’s Third Congressional seat, left open by Republican Rep. Jim Saxton. A press release from the Adler campaign reports that he has raised$1,159,310 for the cycle and $529,320 in the first quarter of 2008.

The seat Adler is currently seeking has been in Republican control since 1882 (that’s right, 126 years). There is a good post on MyDD about Adler and his fundraising success that you should check out as well.

Go to John Adler’s campaign website to learn more and consider making a contribution to the campaign that will make history for New Jersey Democrats.
