LINCOLN - Two more candidates recently announced campaigns for seats in the Nebraska Legislature.

Lou Ann Goding, a former Omaha School Board member, said she will challenge incumbent State Sen. Wendy DeBoer in northwest Omaha’s District 10.

Goding describes herself as a "pro-family, pro-jobs, pro-education Republican. She plans on working on behalf of her constituents to lower property taxes and advocate for "strong, accountable public schools."

“In the Nebraska Legislature I’ll fight to make sure every student has a chance to be a productive and successful citizen, and for policies that will strengthen families,” Goding said in a press release.

In this press release, she announced that she has the support of Governor Pete Ricketts, U.S. Senator Deb Fischer, and U.S. Representative Don Bacon in her attempt to beat out the Democrat incumbent, DeBoer.

DeBoer recognizes reelection will be more difficult after the boundaries for political districts were redrawn earlier this year.

In the Panhandle, Gering businessman Brian Hardin announced that he will seek to replace the term-limited Senator John Stinner in District 48. Scotts Bluff, Kimball, and Banner Counties are located inside the district.

“I’m conservative and believe smaller government is better government,” Hardin, a Republican, said in a press release. “My priorities include job creation and economic growth.”

Hardin previously worked as a consultant in strategic planning, training insurance brokers, and advising state and local officials about changes caused by the Affordable Care Act.
