State GOP Endorses Candidates before Filing Deadlines; Nebraska Democratic Party Welcomes All

Endorsed Candidates Include Former Legislative Staffer Who Helped Redraw the Legislative District He is Running In
By Chris Triebsch
In contrast to recent endorsements from the State Republican
Party, the Nebraska Democratic Party is keeping an open process before the
filing deadlines.
The Nebraska Democratic State Central Committee met over the
weekend without endorsing any candidates.
“It shows the contrast between our two parties,” said Jim
Rogers, Executive Director of the Nebraska Democratic Party. “The Republican
Party closes people out. The Democratic Party welcomes people in. We already
have a great slate of candidates. In some races, we have multiple Democrats
running. We believe this is good for the process and good for the voters. While
the Republicans engage in backroom deals, we keep our doors open.”
Incumbents for office must file by February 15.
Non-incumbents must file by March 1.
