The Primary
Well, we missed the State Treasurers race won by Don Stenberg and he will go on to face Mark Stoj which he will roll. The most interesting results came from the legislative races, in District 40 which is Cap Dierks seat. Dierks is looking for a third term but he came in second in the voting to Tyson Larson which means Cap Dierks has an uphill race on his hands. Dierks won Holt County which is his home base but Larson won Pierce County his home. If all other parts of district 40 break even Dierks will be replaced by Larson. Larson did not win by a large margin he only won by 236 votes if Larson receives the majority of the votes that went to Adam Dea who received 259 votes and finds some other votes throughout the district he will unseat Cap Dierks. This race will be very interesting to watch how it plays out and the themes that develop within it.

It is the 2nd term, not 3rd for Dierks. And, Pierce Co. is not Larsons' home, he registered in Holt just several weeks prior to the primary election. However, his vehicle has "20/Cass" County plates and, to this day, he is still listed with a Weeping Water, NE address where he was raised. So, he has never paid taxes in the 40th district, and continues to pay taxes to Cass County.
ReplyDeleteCorrection... Larson moved there just prior to the deadline for primary registration...
