CENTRAL CITY- Legislative candidates Loren Lippincott and Mike Reimers had a discussion at a Central City forum held last week.
The two candidates are both Republicans battling for the District 34 legislative seat. The seat was previously held by state senator Curt Friesen.
District 34 spans across Hall, Hamilton, Merrick, and Nance counties and surrounds cities such as Central City and the Grand Island Area.
The forum had about forty attendees and the candidates respectfully shared the mic for ninety minutes.
They covered topics ranging from economic development to housing to early childhood education, agreeing that they share similar views on some issues, while differing on others.
The issue that candidates shared the view the most on was education.
“During this campaign, I’ve gone to all four counties and knocked on about 6,000 doors and by far the number one thing people are concerned about is what’s going on in school,” Lippincott said.
“In kindergarten through 12th grade and also in our colleges they are fighting mad with the idea of Critical Race Theory, the 1619 Project, Black Lives Matter and sex education standards. I hear that all the time.”
