I feel he would represent us respectably. Ben Sasse didn’t even show up for some of the forums, and I don’t think… Read More

Last Sunday, I organized and promoted a town hall event at the Hastings City Auditorium along with the League of Women Voters, Area Retired Teachers Association, YWCA, We The People Organization and the Hastings Area Chamber of Commerce for the U.S. Senate candidates in Nebraska. The goal was to create an open forum in which… Read More

Nebraska can be proud of Domina


I had the privilege of watching Attorney Dave Domina at the Senatorial candidates’ debate in North Platte on Sunday. I was thoroughly impressed by his ability to recall and succinctly present the facts on a broad variety of topics. I first met Mr. Domina at a meeting about a year ago at the Beatrice Library….
