Nebraska State Sen. Mike McDonnell changes party affiliation
State senator representing South Omaha district is joining the Republican Party

OMAHA, Neb. (WOWT) - A Nebraska state senator censured last month by the state Democratic Party said Wednesday that he is formally joining the GOP.

Mike McDonnell made the announcement at noon in the Nebraska Capitol Rotunda. He represents Dist. 5 in South Omaha, between 72nd Street and Interstate 480.

The Nebraska Democratic Party censured McDonnell in March after he voted alongside Republicans particularly on matters regarding reproductive rights and rights of transgender Nebraskans. There had been talk of a formal censure last summer over the same issues, but no such vote was taken.

In a statement Wednesday, NDP Chairwoman Jane Kleeb reinforced the party’s decision to censure him, denying the action had anything to do with McDonnell’s religious beliefs or affiliation.  (I say that pure Male Bovine Droppings what she's claiming)

Nebraska's Senate is officially non-partisan.
