ED POLITICS SERIES: A FEW PICKS FOR ELECTION DAY

Many thanks to the volunteers who put together the handy-dandy election guide that you can visit for free:

www.voterinformation.org

You can go there to plan your voting decisions and see how I came up with mine, listed below.

A surprise donation to these people would be much appreciated, because they do have expenses in providing this public service. Call it a Mother’s Day gift for your motherland, and support the American way by supporting them.

Primaries aren’t as big a deal, but here are a few picks for positions that directly or indirectly affect education and the quality of life for children in Nebraska. You can use your vote to encourage ‘’the good guys’’ for the general election next fall, if it applies:

State Board of Education:
District 2, Ann Mactier
District 3, Jim Scheer

District 66 School Board, 6-year term:
Vote just once, for Ruth Ann Popp

Omaha Public Schools School Board:
Subdistrict 2, Karen Shepard
Subdistrict 6, Jim Enright
Subdistrict 8, Mark E. Rosenquist

State Legislature:
District 9, Scott Knudsen
District 31, Don Hudgens
