State Treasurer Race

The State Treasurers office needs somebody who has spent time in Lincoln but does not live there and understands the needs of out state Nebraska. I believe Don Stenberg has had his time in elected office three terms as State Attorney General is enough. How do we know that Stenberg would serve a whole term anyway or would he try another re-match with Ben Nelson. The State Treasurers office could use somebody from the 3rd congressional district such as State Senator Deb Fischer. She is exactly the type of statewide office holder we need. she would be somebody to hold other elected leaders feet to the fire when it comes to budgetary issues. Senator Deb Fischer who represents District 43 has been a strong leader for her district. She is an excellent advocate for the issues that concern her district. Being a rancher and understanding agriculture is a key challenge that all statewide elected officials must understand. It is the opinion of this blogger that State Senator Deb Fischer would be a great candidate and an excellent State Treasurer for the state of Nebraska.

A new State Treasurer

For everybody thinking that 2010 would just be a quiet boring election year in Nebraska well you may still be right. However the republican primary for State Treasurer should be great entertainment.  I hope the names that have been floating around all enter and I hope more candidates jump in the race. I would like to see Sen. Deb Fischer jump in the race she is a strong state senator for the Sandhill's of Nebraska. Plus having a women on the ticket would show more diversity on the republican ticket than the democrats have on their limited ticket. A new State Treasurer will be fun.
