Lincoln, NE — Delegates to the 2018 Nebraska Democratic Party Convention chose their leaders Saturday, re-electing Party Chair Jane Kleeb and Vice-Chair Frank LaMere by acclamation.
“Chúng tôi tự hào lãnh đạo đảng trong cuộc bầu cử năm 2018 và khi chúng tôi bắt đầu lập kế hoạch cho năm 2020,” Kleeb nói. "Hơn 500 ứng cử viên Đảng Dân chủ trong lá phiếu là một minh chứng cho sự nhiệt tình của phía chúng tôi trong việc chấm dứt sự kìm kẹp của một đảng đối với nhà nước của chúng tôi."
LaMere said: “The re-election of Jane Kleeb and my return as associate chair makes my heart soar like a hawk. Will we celebrate? Perhaps so, but only for 10 minutes. Then, we will get about continuing to unify the NDP and build the foundation for huge Democratic wins in the Fall. Jane Kleeb has brought us to a realization that, with hard work and organization, we can compete.”
Delegates also elected Preston Love, Jr. as 2nd vice chair; John Yoakum as chair of the Congressional District 1 Caucus; Ben Cass as chair of the Congressional District 2 Caucus; and Judy Vohland as chair of the Congressional District 3 Caucus.
The NDP 2018 Convention, which was attended by 372 delegates, concluded Saturday at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln’s Innovation Campus.
