Title
Scott Kleeb - Nebraska 3rd District - Congress
Description
As a fourth generation Nebraskan, Scott Kleeb has deep roots in three great traditions of this state: agriculture, patriotism and public service.
Scott's great-grandfather, Albert Kleeb, was born in a dug-out outside of Broken Bow, Nebraska, before the turn of the century. He once hiked three days to earn 20 ewes and a dollar in exchange for his farm goods. This windfall was to be the origins of the Kleeb family farm and ranch, which stood outside of Broken Bow for nearly 100 years. It was here, listening to his grandfather's homesteading stories - tales of neighbors coming together to build a new home, or to dig a well - that Scott came to cherish the values and traditions of Nebraska. And it was here, as he saw the impact of government investments in rural electrification, highways and agricultural infrastructure, that he learned how government can help change lives for the better.
Scott's parents, Al and JoAnn Kleeb, served as elementary and high school teachers for the sons and daughters of American military personnel living abroad, and Scott and his sister Shawn spent much of their childhood on an Army base in Italy. Scott learned from an early age what it meant to be a representative for Nebraska and the United States to another part of the world. It was a role he took seriously.
