I met one of the candidates running for Mike Floods seat
His name is Chris Backemeyer. He has worked in DC for the state dept. He saw how bad it was going to get and he took the buyout. He was at the Flood town hall last summer and decided that someone needed to challenge
him. Seemed to be very knowledgeable about every issue that people asked about. (was at a private house event). So if you know anyone in Nebraska/Floods district let them know about Chris.
He's campaigning on the 3 C's
Cost
Chaos
Corruption
Well spoken about all of them.

To be fair the other candidate is Eric Moyer.
