NE-2

This is an interesting race with Tom White and Lee Terry fighting to represent the Omaha district. Now some interesting things have happened when it comes to Tom Whites online activity. It seems that everything online for TomWhite2010.com is being paid for by his legislative campaign committee. This is interesting because Tom Whites campaign handler for his legislative seat was Ian Russell. Russell then went on to work for Tom White in the legislature a currently still does. Russell now owns the company who updates and maintains Tom Whites congressional campaign website. This seems to violate several laws of the Nebraska Accountability and Disclosure Commission. Tom White is trying to save money on the campaign and being the challenger it is understandable. However White has to spend money from his congressional treasury not his legislative account for a run for Congress. It looks like Ian Russell is once again play fast and loose with the rules and campaigns for democrats. Lets remember Russell was the head of the Nebraska Democratic Legislative campaign committee that year the democrats lost seats overall. The best backlash against the Russell-White faction will be a Lee Terry victory then Tom White and Ian Russell will both be out of a job.
