Women for Herbster

"It is my distinct honor to endorse Charles W. Herbster in his quest for Nebraska Governor. I’ve had the unique experience of building Charles distinguished hats which truly become an artifact of the person wearing it. The times I have been with Mr. Herbster, he has been nothing but a true gentleman, quickly earning my honor and respect.

"It’s equally interesting and disgusting to me the timing of the allegations that have recently been placed on Mr. Herbster. It’s obvious to me this was a planned attack to try and take down a man who has funded his own campaign and who is passionate about the commonsense principles that America was founded upon."

- Kaycee Orr Hoffman, Bar None Hats, Thedford, Nebraska

Kaycee has made Mr. Herbster three custom, handmade hats. She she assigns each hat a unique number in sequential order since she started making them in 2003. His favorite hat is number 1776 which you see him wearing in the attached photo. What a special number for a patriot!

Statement from Miss Nebraska Teen USA 2019, Erin Shae Swanson

"In 1998, my son and daughter-in-law moved to Nebraska to manage Herbster Angus Farms for Charles W. and Judy Herbster. As a mother, I always worry about my kids. This was a big opportunity and move away from home, but through this move, my kids became successful in the Angus business. In addition, Charles and Judy became my extended family and Charles a mentor and a friend. Charles has been there for my kids and has helped mold my granddaughter into the strong woman she has become. He has been a role model for the whole family to follow.

"I applaud Charles for wanting to take on the welfare of the citizens of Nebraska. I know that his strength of character and strong work ethic will provide Nebraska with the leadership that they need and deserve. Please vote for my friend Charles W. Herbster, he is the MAN for the job."
- Sharon Raithel, Freeburg, Missouri

"I am small business owner in Falls City, Nebraska. I am a Nebraska State Licensed Skin Aesthetician and Practical Nurse.

"I have known Charles Herbster since starting my therapy practice in 1999. Like Charles, I am a lifelong resident of Richardson County and grew up on a family farm. Charles and his wife, Judy, were some of my first clients that turned into close friends. They supported me by sending me family members and employees, and referring me to anyone they knew. That’s how small businesses in small towns make it—word of mouth by people that truly believe in you. There is a sense of pride to know that someone who has built many businesses from the ground up, like Charles, being a prominent influential business man and farmer, chooses to do business with me, in his hometown. He knows that the success of my business depends on 100% on local consumers. Charles is true to his roots and can relate with every individual about any kind of business, economic, or real life ups and downs.

"Charles freely gives advice and strategies to anyone who is in need of taking business to another level or how to stay afloat. Charles knows hard work, how to make improvements, and he understands hardships of having a business in this economic downfall. Charles' small-town upbringing helps him relate to anyone who hasn’t been in the big corporate world—he understands that not everyone is on that level. Charles is well rounded, and that is why he is the perfect candidate for Governor.

"He truly cares about our state and his conservative views are just what we need to help make Nebraska the 'Good Life,' as our motto says. Charles' strong morals, trustworthiness, honesty, and extreme integrity will guide all Nebraskans back to the basic principles we should be living by. Charles being a Christian himself, sees the need for God back in our lives and schools, as well as incentives to work and keep jobs, so businesses like mine prevail. It will truly be an injustice for all of Nebraska if Charles Herbster is not voted in for Governor. Charles' beliefs about which goals, principles, and policies are important in our community and state make him the only candidate that has the qualifications and drive to make us 'Great Again!'"
-Tracy L O’Brien, LMT, LE

"Honesty. Equality. Kindness. Compassion. Treating people the way you to be treated and helping those in need. Those are the values exemplified by Charles W. Herbster.

"Over the last 7 years, I have been extremely proud to work with and for Charles W. Herbster, making it tremendously disheartening to see the recent allegations made against a man I have the upmost respect for.

"I first met Charles W. in the barns at Hartman Cattle Company in Tecumseh, Nebraska. Since then, I have had the opportunity to work for Herbster Angus Farms spending holidays, dinners, and numerous cattle shows with Charles. On every encounter, he has treated me with kindness and respect.

"I have always admired Charles’s generosity through his investments in the next-generation. Through scholarships and awards in local, state, and national organizations, Charles encourages youth to dream big and achieve those dreams through hard work and dedication.

"What an incredible opportunity Nebraska has to elect a genuine, successful business man who recognizes the potential of Nebraska and prioritizes the well-being and future for the people who call it home!"

- Rudy Pooch, Tecumseh, Nebraska

"What’s the definition of a gentleman with integrity? Charles Herbster! Over the years of knowing Charles, he has always shown consistent and uncompromising dedication to morals and ethical principles and values. He is an incredible businessman, and his dedication to agriculture will help lead this state positively into the future. He is a man of strong faith, his instincts are of which promote good will, appreciation and encouragement; and his kindness and caring personality are perpetual. I am proud to call him a friend, and look forward to calling him Governor. In my book, Team Herbster will always be a winning message!" Cindy Witt, Falls City, Nebraska

"My experience of knowing Charles W. Herbster is a result of being a childhood friend of Amanda Raithel who works for Charles at Herbster Angus Farm.

When Nebraska experienced devasting flooding because of the bomb cyclone in 2019, my family in Ohio helped organize several trailer loads of supplies for families in Nebraska. Charles, upon learning of our efforts, offered to help with food, fuel, and lodging for us once we arrived in Nebraska. He even accompanied our group to our drop off point in Central City. Charles and I had great conversation during that trip, and he genuinely wanted to know more about me, my background, and my family.

"In 2021 and 2022, my husband and I helped during the annual Herbster Bull sale as well. That event is made possible by the work of many hands, and Charles is so appreciative and respectful of everyone who helps make the sale happen - he makes you feel like family!

"Charles is one of a kind. His mind never stops, but Charles will always take a moment to say hello, ask how you are, and catch up.

"Charles cares about people. As Governor, he will work for the people of Nebraska as if they are his family!
- Dawn Fraizer, Mt. Gilead, Ohio

The group brought agricultural supplies, feed, household supplies, and hay for the flooding victims during the Nebraska bomb cyclone of 2019. The supplies were dropped in Central City, Nebraska where this photo was taken.

"In my profession as a rancher, there are few women. Living in a 'man’s' world, it is refreshing to meet and truly get to know a man like Charles W. Herbster. A man who values a woman’s opinion, asks advice, and genuinely takes her thoughts and feelings into account.

"Having known Charles for over 10 years, I can comfortably say, he is a polite, reputable man with whom I’ve shared many cattle conversations with. Charles has also discussed, at length, with my three boys, their goals and ambitions. He has offered sound business advice to them and has written numerous recommendation letters for scholarships.

"I find the accusations against Charles very timely—so close to the primary. Obviously, these claims are an attempt to discredit a very honest, trustworthy, and reputable person."
- Stephanie Dickerson, Owner Bar S Ranch

"Charles was my neighbor for 26 years. I was his veterinarian for 28 years. At the young age of 25, I took a job in Falls City at the Animal Health Center, he was one of my first clients. From then until now, he has always treated me with respect and kindness. People speak of his generosity, and I am here to tell you, it’s the truth. I have eaten many a lunch there after working cattle cooked by his wife, Judy. He has hauled cattle for me when my trailer broke down (on Christmas Eve nonetheless); he has loaned me equipment; and even pulled me out of ditches. He knows how to be a good neighbor and will help out whenever someone is in need!

"Charles has always impressed me with his hard work ethic, friendliness, and his ability to talk about anything. We have had conversations about politics, religion, and cattle. I have enjoyed every moment! I miss having him as my neighbor, and if I still lived in Nebraska, I would not only vote for him, but rally others to do so!

"He welcomed me as a young veterinarian into the community with a smile and kindness. I think that’s the way every human should be!" - Dr. Elizabeth Herring, DVM

"Having sung for three consecutive U.S. Presidents, world leaders, and all across the world, I am privileged to meet great people. And then there are moments where I am blessed to meet extraordinary people. Charles W. Herbster is one of those extraordinary people.

"We met years ago following a performance I had at President Trump and First Lady Melania Trump’s home in Florida. It took one lunch and conversation in the beautiful dining hall of Mar-a-Lago for me to learn Charles was rare and special - a true heart for God,a real patriot with a deep love for America, a selfless giver, a leader with great conviction and a strong moral compass, and most of all, a champion for women.

"Today, Charles is among my very close confidants of mentors, a valued guide and loyal supporter to my career, and a most treasured friend to my family. He is someone I trust wholeheartedly.

"The Nebraska primary for Governor has awakened the evils of man and elevated voices that have worked to distort the truth about my friend, Charles W. Herbster. The Bible says, 'We wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities and rules of darkness.' This primary is a battle of good and evil. Right or wrong. Truth or false.

"Let me be very clear - those men and women who have tirelessly worked to distort the truth about Charles are Godless, un-American, and their hearts are exercising evilness. These kind of people are not representatives of God, America, or you, the great citizens of Nebraska. Their ways are evil. They are wrong. They are false.

"Here is the truth about my friend, Charles. He is a fierce defender of Jesus Christ and freedom. He was a devoted husband to a remarkable woman, Judy, for over 40 years and remains devoted honorably in her passing. He faithfully champions women, and I am a direct recipient of this advocacy. And finally, he is the best choice to lead Nebraska. His business acumen has made him a respected leader across the world. His patriotism has made him a trusted voice in America. His roots as a farmer have made him a beloved neighbor in Nebraska. And his faith in Jesus Christ keeps him postured as a servant to humanity and the kingdom of God.

"My fellow Americans, the great patriots of Nebraska, Charles is the good choice. He is the right choice. He is the choice of truth. America needs Charles. Nebraska needs Charles. You and your family need Charles as your next Governor.

"Charles, I am praying for you my friend. Follow the voice of God and lead in truth. You have and will always have my full support." -Mary Milben, American singer, actress, and media personality

"I have known Charles W. Herbster for ten years. He is one of the most reputable and thoughtful men I have been around. He has been around the women that have worked in our cattle operation and has never on any way shape or form been out of line in any situation! Our grandchildren have always been able to talk to Charles about anything. He has given them advice, and how to handle different situations, wether it in the show ring, school, or in sports. These accusations seem to come out in timely fashion to try to discredit his reputation. Politics, at times can be very hateful, and I'm disappointed in the way Charles, a good man, has been treated."
- Kay Hartman, Hartman Cattle Company, Tecumseh, Nebraska
