questions about current election Apr. 7
NE Bull:
Well, I'm rooting for Andy Stebbing for Mayor, for sure. Especially when I point blank asked him if he would support LB289 and he, publicly (FB) , gave me the answer- YES! Between the NFOA breakfast and several conversations with Andy, I do believe he will break the status quo in city hall. When I gave him our list of grievances with Lincoln "weapons" ordinances, he was quite taken aback by it all.
I have spoke with Cyndi Lamm (NE district) and a group of us NFOA members sat down to breakfast with her last month. Conservative-ish Republican (I only say 'ish' as she has shown she might be interested in compromise- which might be both good and bad. ? ) Attorney with a well rounded background. I was impressed that she sought out our guys at the Lincoln Gun Show. When I presented our list of grievances, she was also quite surprised. She already has a short list of items she would tackle on behalf of gun owners.
Mairead Safranek. (NW District) We have spoke thru messaging a few times. When I asked where she stood on guns, she answered that she supported gun ownership and had just applied for her CHP- Well, I figure that's a start. She's conservative, knows how to run a campaign, has been in the political circles since she was a child. She's young, recently out of college. It might hurt her chances, but I for one am not happy with the same old thing in Lincoln. Maybe some fresh eyes and ideas would do it some good. She hasn't really gave me a opinions on our list of issues with Lincoln laws- it might have been alot to take in. I will corner her a bit more at breakfast this Saturday- or better yet, come on out and ask the hard questions yourself. ( April 4th 9am Perkins on NW 12th)

I want to reiterate this one, this is a major factor in the abilities the NFOA and the NFOA-PAF has. We don't throw around hundreds of thousands of dollars like some of our local unions, what we do is get you and the candidates together so you can inform them of your needs. The chance to educate your soon to be elected political leaders, and find comfort in them so you will not only support them with a vote but some assistance in getting elected (got a place for a yard sign, maybe you can help deliver signs, or speak with your neighbors).
RobertH:
Thank you everyone for the replies. Very helpful and informative.
depserv:
I'd like to thank everyone too. I put my ballot in the mail today.
Let me remind everyone once again: make sure any friends and relatives and coworkers you have who are patriots get out and vote (if they're not patriots it's ok if they don't vote). A lot of people don't vote in local elections, so those that do have a greater voice. Help our voice be the one that carries this election, so we can have a government made up of loyal Americans.
rudy:
Thank you to everyone for the information.
Just a friendly reminder: get out and vote today!
