Speaker Paul D. Ryan was in Omaha Wednesday, where he endorsed Republican Don Bacon in Nebraska’s competitive 2nd District.

But Bacon wasn’t the only one who wanted some of Ryan’s attention. Democratic Rep. Brad Ashford sent a letter to Ryan Wednesday welcoming him to the district and inviting him to meet.

“I am looking forward to the opportunity to share the great work happening in Nebraska with my colleague, Speaker Ryan,” Ashford said.

Ashford then showed up to the downtown location where Ryan attended a fundraiser for Bacon, Omaha’s CBS affiliate KMTV reported. Ashford spoke to the press, even having an informal, impromptu debate with Bacon on the street. Ryan had already left.
