OMAHA- The former seat of State Senator John McCollister will be filled by either Stu Dornan or John Fredrickson.

The two will face off on November 8th to see who will serve the people of District 20.

When it comes to addressing mental health in Nebraska, Fredrickson and Dornan have similar views.

"Mental health is such an important thing to take seriously as a state, and our legislative body doesn't currently have any subject matter experts in mental health. And that is a perspective that is extraordinarily valuable as it pertains to your obviously mental health-related policy," Fredrickson said.

"We need to normalize those conversations, you know, mental health is as important or more important than physical health. And we need to be sure that it just doesn't go under the radar. You know, we have to break the silence with respect to that," Dornan said.

The candidates both agree that the state should not seek or implement any new abortion laws.

John Fredrickson said if elected, his focus will be on education, tax relief and inflation. Stu Dornan said if elected, he vows to tackle property taxes, education and public safety.

Both candidates made it clear that they are ready to serve the people of their district and Nebraska by finding common ground with others.
