AURORA- A Group of people got together in Aurora on Saturday to find out, in their own words, how to take America back from the far left. There were several speakers at the event including Former Gov. Dave Heineman.

Heineman discussed issues he believes Nebraskans are facing today including Critical Race Theory (CRT) and the State Board of Education’s proposed health standards, in his opinion, having no place in Nebraska’s schools.

“I wanted them to take away they needed to be politically involved, also to stand up for the values and beliefs we believe in as a state,” Heineman explained.

He believes when people get involved on the issues, they can truly make a difference.

“I served everything from Fremont City Council, to governor of this state, you can make a real difference if you’re willing to get involved.”

Dan Daly from Aurora was in the audience with his wife and really enjoyed Heineman’s speech. He came very concerned about CRT and the health standards and wanted to know what he could do as a concerned parent and grandfather.

“I thought he had some very good points on how to interface or approach our elected officials,” Daly said.

Heineman also believes politics has changed from when he was governor.

“It used to be that we could disagree in an agreeable way, in a respectful way and so I’m disappointed with that,” Heineman said.

He believes people need to open their minds and listen.

“To often we already have our minds made up but I will say this about our state, our people are good, they’re respectful and generally speaking they listen,” Heineman said.

Heineman loved being governor and told Local4 News he’s thinking about running again. He plans to reassess in the fall on whether or not to get back on the campaign trail.
