Walz Picks Farmer Steffen as Running Mate | Lincoln News

Nebraska’s Democratic gubernatorial hopeful Lynne Walz has chosen Ben Steffen, a former Republican and corn-soybean farmer, as her running mate. Steffen, whose family has farmed the same land for over 100 years, brings deep roots in agriculture and community service, having led local farming groups and served on school boards and church choirs for decades. His political pivot — switching from Republican to Democrat and donating to Democratic candidates — has drawn fire from Pillen’s camp, who cite his past anti-Trump rally attendance, while Democratic leaders like Jane Kleeb applaud his contrast to Pillen’s lieutenant governor. Together, Walz and Steffen vow to tackle a projected $1 billion budget shortfall, pushing for property tax relief and economic growth as their core campaign promises.

Court Ruling Sparks Voting Rights Debate | Lincoln News

A federal appeals court just cleared the way for President Trump’s executive order on vote-by-mail, allowing the USPS and Homeland Security to start compiling voter lists—even without final rules—sparking immediate backlash and a Supreme Court showdown. Just days earlier, another court blocked the move, citing harm to states scrambling to adjust resources. With midterms looming, the legal battle intensifies as voting rights groups warn this could lead to a citizenship database and ballot suppression. Justice Jackson is weighing whether the Supreme Court should even hear it—making this one of the most consequential election-related rulings of the year.
