Today, we’re going to share with you one of our many lady crushes on Nebraska’s ballot: Machaela Cavanaugh. In District 6, Cavanaugh is running against Ricketts’ appointee Theresa Thibodeau for a seat in the legislature representing central/West-Central Omaha (LD6). And folks, Nebraska needs Cavanaugh and we announce our endorsement today. She is dedicated to the […]
This week, the Lincoln Journal Star endorsed Jeff Fortenberry to represent Nebraska’s CD1 in Congress. I’m sure you, oh loyal reader, will by now have noticed, that we at Seeing Red support his opponent, Jessica McClure. Today, I want to share with you my (somewhat fleshed out) Letter to the Editor that I sent to […]
So you received your midterm ballot. You did your homework on the candidates–but what about the judges on the ballot? Our recommendation is: when in doubt, vote to retain judges on the ballot in Nebraska. In Nebraska, state court judges are chosen through “assisted appointments”–meaning that a committee advances two qualified nominees, […]
You already knew Nebraska was unique, but did you know that we’re the only state in the union that derives all of its electricity from publicly owned utilities? That sounds boring, but actually it’s pretty awesome. In other states, private companies own all or part of the electrical grid and the plants which generate that […]
The ongoing controversy about voter registration in Georgia and in North Dakota, both of which have made national news in the last week, provides the clearest possible example of why the upcoming election for Secretary of State matters to citizens here in Nebraska and why they should vote for Spencer Danner. For many years […]
If you’re like me, on Monday night you might have seen Jon Camp tell three of his constituents to stop bothering him at city council meetings (1:48:00 in the video), where we already know he doesn’t stand, er, sit, for politics. If you’re not, then you probably read in the LJS that he would rather […]
We need your help! Seeing Red Nebraska is having our first ever fundraiser for a political candidate and we want YOU to be a part of it. We’re raising money for a congressional candidate we endorsed back in the primary who continues to inspire us with her incredible ground game. Congratulations to Jessica McClure for […]
To the average West Omaha suburban voter, Congressman Don Bacon must seem a likable and capable Representative. Bacon is a retired USAF general who smiles and shakes hands. He often talks about “bi-partisanship” and seems to avoid the caldron of Trumpian chaos. If a voter didn’t pay close attention, they might feel compelled to walk […]
This is speculation–but it seems plausible enough that I want to float it ahead of the execution of Carey Dean Moore. It’s possible that the Ricketts administration is rushing the execution of Moore in order to eliminate a grounds to stop the execution of Jose Sandoval, whom Ricketts would also like to execute in advance […]
Seeing Red attended the hearing in United States District Court today in which pharmaceutical company Fresenius Kabi sought a temporary restraining order delaying the execution of Carey Dean Moore scheduled for Tuesday, August 14 at 10:00 a.m. Moore will be executed with a cocktail of four drugs. This is a summary of the hearing. In their […]
