US Senator Pete Ricketts (R-Neb.) made the following statement on his official Facebook page regarding the upcoming closure of the Tyson Foods facility in Lexington, which was announced today.
“I will do everything I can to support the Nebraskans who are impacted by the decision to close the Tyson Foods plant in Lexington. We must help them stay in our state and find work close to home. This news is especially heartbreaking around the holidays. I ask for Nebraskans to keep the community of Lexington in their prayers.”
