State Sen. Chris Beutler asked the strikers to draw strength from their history and the history of unionists.

“Take courage in those who came before you, and keep up the good fight,” said Beutler, who is running for Lincoln mayor next year.

Standing in front of a crowd filled with family, friends and the press and below a red, white and blue "Beutler-Mayor" banner, Lincoln's newest mayoral candidate said, "I am Chris Beutler, and I am running for mayor of Lincoln."

There was red. There was white. There was blue. There was a cute baby. And there was Sen. Chris Beutler, announcing that he will run for mayor of Lincoln next year.

Standing in front of the prerequisite patriotic “Beutler-Mayor” banner, he said, “I am Chris Beutler, and I am running for mayor of Lincoln.”

Sen. Chris Beutler is expected to announce his candidacy for Lincoln mayor during a press conference Friday.
