NEBRASKA TAXPAYERS FOR FREEDOM WORKSHEET:
FIND CONSERVATIVE CANDIDATES TO FILL THESE OFFICES: 2022.
INTRODUCTION. One reason why liberals win so many offices in Nebraska elections is because conservatives do not recruit sufficient numbers of credible candidates to campaign for these positions. Many positions go to Socialist Democrats simply by default. Therefore, conservative taxpayers must begin comprehensive efforts immediately to recruit, vet, and campaign for credible conservative candidates. We must not neglect even the most minor positions, because individuals who win election to these positions often run for higher offices in the future. Unfortunately, we cannot depend on our state Republican Party to wage an aggressive and meaningful campaign to recruit sufficient candidates; their recruiting too often brings out individuals who become RINOs (Republicans in Name Only) once elected. The duty and obligation therefore fall to conservatives to find suitable candidates and then campaign for them. See the annotated list of open seats and positions now filled by liberals below.
