***Nebraska Democratic Party News Press Release for 3-1-2024***
Nebraska Democratic Party Announcement of Democratic and Independent Candidates for the 2024 Primary Elections
LINCOLN, NE – The Nebraska Democratic Party Chair Jane Kleeb issues the following statement regarding the diverse and strong slate of Democratic and Independent (non-partisan) candidates after the candidate deadline today:
“Today the Nebraska Democratic Party presents a strong slate of Democratic and Independent candidates for the people during the 2024 election cycle. In 2022, we had legislative candidates fill 60% of seats up for election. This time around, we have 95%. This incredible number is a testament to all the hard work of our county chairs, allies, and supporters. Our diversity in candidates is a direct representation of Nebraskans from both rural and urban areas who are ready to bring working and middle-class perspectives to all offices in our government. We must come together to end the one-party rule in our state that stifles creativity, innovation, and accountability.”- Chair Jane Kleeb
