“I have been very busy since session closed the middle of April,” said Senator Lydia Brasch. She has been spending much of her time campaigning, going from town to town, visiting with her constituents and handing out signs for voters to place in their yards. “I also had students visit with me for three days in Lincoln,” Senator Brasch stated.
She thoroughly enjoyed visiting with the children. “They were such fun. I enjoyed visiting with them,” Senator Brasch said.
Scott Japp, a board member for the NRD is challenging Senator Brasch for her seat.
Remember to vote today. It is your right!

On Sunday, also Mother’s Day, it will be one year since I graduated from college. I was 50, but never gave up on my dream. To all of the graduates everywhere, never lose your vision, never give up hope. Believe in yourself! If you don’t, nobody else will! God Bless all of you!
