Kerrey to serve as Yashirin's campaign finance chairman
Former U.S. Sen. Bob Kerrey will serve as chairman for the campaign finance committee of Max Yashirin, a Democrat running for Nebraska’s 1st Congressional District seat.
The 25-year-old Yashirin faces Republican Congressman Jeff Fortenberry, who’s in his second term.
Yashirin spent a year in Iraq in 2004 with the Marine Reserves and now works with people with mental and physical disabilities at Region 5 Services. He’s finishing his degree at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln.

Kerrey says he believes in Yashirin’s vision for new direction in Washington.
Kerrey, a former Nebraska governor, is president of The New School university in New York.
