AGP Executive Report
Last update: 5 hours agoFinal Election Push: Nebraska’s governor’s race is polling as a dead heat, though Gov. Jim Pillen says he is focused on turnout, not polls. Kansas Gov. Laura Kelly endorsed Democrat Lynne Walz, who has called for unity on property taxes and rural economic challenges. Senate Spending: The Ricketts–Osborn contest is among Nebraska’s costliest, with more than $25 million raised by campaigns and roughly $55 million in outside spending. Newly formed PACs have also spent nearly $500,000 supporting third-party candidates, prompting claims they could siphon votes. Legislative Races: More than half of the Unicameral’s 49 seats are up Tuesday; Republicans now hold 33. Voters will also decide whether to extend senators’ term limits from two consecutive terms to three, and whether to legalize online sports betting. Contract Investigation: Lincoln police completed their probe of the governor’s office’s $2.5 million no-bid contract and sent the case to Attorney General Mike Hilgers. Hilgers said the office was not implicated in criminal wrongdoing, while State Auditor Mike Foley has questioned the contract’s emergency justification. Voting Access: Civic Nebraska is offering free Election Day rides in nine Lincoln neighborhoods, with advance requests required.
