    Ricketts, the former governor, is a multimillionaire and the son of the founder of TD Ameritrade, the stockbroking firm acquired by Charles Schwab in 2020 for a reported $24 billion

      I don’t use Facebook much but one of the most effective comments I’ve seen and have been posting on any Nebraska media is Republicans have ruled this state for 30+ years and nothing has gotten better. Let’s try something different.
