Why I am running

People Powered Politics, not Politics by Powerful People!

I decided that I would run for Chair of the Nebraska Democratic Party because I firmly believe that all of those Bernie Sanders delegates that won their seats at the NDP State Convention need to have a voice that supports their ideals, and those of Senator Sanders. We were only two weeks out from the convention when I made this decision. I had actually been hoping that Jane Kleeb would enter the fray, but then she did the unthinkable, presenting  herself as a candidate for 1st Associate Chair on a slate with current NDP Chair, the very unpopular, Vince Powers.

I opposed Vince Powers for the Chair of the NDP in 2012 because I felt it was a travesty that he was running unopposed, and I knew there were many people that were highly dissatisfied with his leadership. Essentially, the arguments I presented against my opponent then are still valid. It would be a very bad idea to re-elect the man under whose watch the NDP lost yet another 3% of registered voters in our state. His mantra of "continuity" leads only to a path that ends like the movie, Thelma & Louise.
