SOUTH SIOUX CITY, NE -
The republican nominee for the U.S. Senate brought one message to South Sioux City Thursday: "Washington needs to make some cuts."
Deb Fischer spoke to a small crowd at Kahill's Thursday afternoon, thanking voters for "taking a chance on her" in Tuesday's primary.
She beat out John Bruning, who looked like the front runner, to win the republican nomination.
If Fischer makes it to Washington she'll battle what she calls the Federal Government's biggest problem: overspending.
"I believe we address that by having government back off and letting small businesses grow and create jobs, because it's through those jobs that are created by small businesses that we are going to turn this economy around," said Fischer.
Fischer says her "grass-roots" style of campaigning is what will put her ahead in the race, she'll face Democratic nominee, Bob Kerrey, in November's election.
Since she began campaigning, Fischer says more than 45,000 miles have been logged on her car.
