Auburn Native Tony Fulton Announces Run for Treasurer

From every corner of the state, in cities large and small, the consistent message I hear from Nebraskans is that they want a government that works for them. That is why I am running, said State Senator Tony Fulton. Our campaign is focused on making state government work for the people of Nebraska.


It is a great honor to represent the citizens of District 29 in the Nebraska Legislature, and I am humbled by the tremendous amount of support for this new opportunity to serve as your State Treasurer, said Fulton.
