Chuck Hassebrook

Chuck Hassebrook, Democratic candidate for Nebraska Governor, was at the Liberty House in Seward this morning to meet with a few invited guests. Chuck is the lone Democratic in the race since Nebraska Senator Annette Dubas dropped out recently. There are 5 Republican candidates. Chuck has a rural northeast Nebraska background, graduated from UN-L and has been with the Center for Rural Affairs for over 30 years: much of it as head of the 25-30 member staff. He has recently served for 8 years  on the UN-L Board of Regents. He indicated the importance of non-partisan relationships and told of being the only Democrat on the Board of Regents during his tenure. He also mentioned his being elected to the Regents from the highest concentration of Republican voters in the State. His priorities include early childhood education, small business growth, and wind energy development. He spoke of specific ideas for achieving goals in each of these areas. I have known Chuck for over 25 years and served on the Center's Board of Directors for many and certainly believe he could bring a unifying effect to doing what is Best for the State and the People of Nebraska. We need a lot of that throughout the whole Country.
