Chambers seeks Capitol return

By Paul Hammel
WORLD-HERALD BUREAU


LINCOLN — The self-proclaimed "Defender of the Downtrodden" has had enough.
Fiery former State Sen. Ernie Chambers of Omaha said Tuesday he is definitely running to recapture his old seat in the Nebraska Legislature.
Chambers, 74, left the $12,000-a-year post three years ago because of term limits — after representing north Omaha for 38 years.
"There's a job that needs to be done that's not being done, and I think I can do it better than anyone else," Chambers said.
"I'll run on my record," he added. "People will find (there) things that have not been equaled by any legislator, anywhere in this country, during any period in history."
Chambers' no-holds-barred style, booming speeches and trademark sweatshirt and T-shirt wardrobe were legendary in the Legislature.
Another Chambers campaign would provide a test of whether voters want a return to the flame-throwing techniques he utilized to block bills he detested, or if they want to stick with the less confrontational style of the incumbent, Brenda Council, a former City Council member.

If he wins it will definitely make it harder for us to get any pro-gun legislation passed.  Unless the rest of the legislature decides to not put up with his bullying.  I never understood why they tolerated it.

They are afraid of being tagged with the "racist" label.  It's kinda like openly opposing The One's agenda.

I was holding out hope he would run against Ben Nelson in the Dem primary or run for UNL Regent
