OOPS: http://www.omaha.com/article/20120113/NEWS01/701139883/0#dems-get-1st-senate-candidate

Steven Lustgarten, owner of an Omaha video production company, said Thursday that he will seek the Democratic nomination for U.S. Senate in Nebraska.

Lustgarten, 60, said he would push for campaign finance reform, an end to Washington gridlock and tax incentives for the film industry similar to those found in Canada.

It is Lustgarten's first bid for public office. So far he is the first Democrat to get into the race officially.
