Western Nebraska Elections!!

I got asked the other day if there was anyone of importance running this off season election.  Actually it happened twice in one week.  Because we are in a remote area and all have dish tv or direct, we don't get much local news.  So I thought I would compile a few people and their web sites that I know we will be seeing on the ballot this November 2nd.  This applies to Nebraska and mostly to the western half of Nebraska.  :)

This is a link at the Secretary of State site of all elelctions across the state.  Doesn't list the county elelctions.  http://www.sos.ne.gov/elec/2010/pdf/general%20election%20list.pdf
     1. Governor Dave Heineman - yep there is an on-going governors' race but we don't hear much about it.  Governor Heineman
     2. Representative Adrian Smith - there will be three candidates on the ticket.  The democrat running is a very very lift wing liberal, very bad for Nebraska.  There is an independent on the ticket who petitioned to be on the ballot, Dan Hill.  He has been a life long republican.  My concern is splitting the republican vote which could allow the democrat a win.  Here are Adrian's & Dan's web sites.  Adrian Smith   Dan Hill
     3.  Secretary of State John Gale - http://www.facebook.com/pages/John-Gale/86779768800
     4.  State Treasurer Don Stenburg - http://ontheissues.org/Senate/Don_Stenberg.htm
     5.  State Attorney General Jon Bruning - http://jonbruning.com/index.php?PID=1&TYPE=HOME
     6.  State Auditor Mike Foley - http://www.auditors.state.ne.us/
     7.  State Board of Education - Cindi Allen - This is one those of little known about positions that has such a large impact on state education.  Cindi is a Republican, Conservative, LEAD Alum that we are backing.  She is doing a great job but is not endorsed by the union, (which in our opinion is good)  She will be representing 35 counties across the western part of our state.  Cindi Allen  If you know of people or friends in the east part of the state (North Omaha-Spencer)  John Sieler  John Sieler
     8.  Regents - Bob Phares - http://www.northplattebulletin.com/index.asp?show=news&action=readStory&storyID=18107&pageID=3&sectionID=3
