Senator Deb Fischer campaigned for re-election in Blair on Friday, February 16, 2018. Blair was the first of three campaign stops Friday for Senator Fischer, with stops in Fremont and Wahoo in the afternoon. About 40 people attended the Fischer meet and greet at Fernando’s Cafe & Cantina in Blair during lunch.  Senator Fischer spent time one-on-one with everyone in the room, gave an update on Senate bills and explained specifically her votes on important issues.  The event finished with Senator Fischer answering questions from the attendees. Fischer Meet & Greet Blair photos
