KEARNEY- The Nebraska Republican Party is set to host its state convention in Kearney.

The NEGOP announced on Tuesday that it is hosting the convention at the Younes Conference Center South on July 8th and 9th. The convention happens in even-numbered years and serves as a chance for party leaders to discuss policy positions and pass resolutions. The event is attended by delegates and alternates who are elected by county parties. Republicans who are not delegates may apply to attend.

The list of featured speakers includes Gov. Pete Ricketts, gubernatorial candidate Jim Pillen, and Dist. 1 Representative Candidate Mike Flood.

The contention is returning to Kearney as the city also hosted the convention in 2020, prior to the pandemic.
