LINCOLN- As the state nears the 2024 general election, Nebraska's major political parties are bringing in big guests in the hopes of better reaching partisan voters and raising sufficient funding. The Nebraska Democratic Party, for its September 29th Ben Nelson Fundraising Gala in Omaha, is set to feature the titular Nelson, Gov. Tim Walz of Minnesota, and State Rep. Justin Pearson of "The Tennessee Three," who gained nationwide fame after being expelled from, and eventually reappointed to Tennessee's Legislature earlier this year.

Similarly famous, though politically-opposed headliners are also being invited to the Nebraska Republican Party's August 18th Booster Event and State Central Committee meeting. Former Trump campaign manager Kellyanne Conway is set to attend. Conway, who previously advised former Nebraska gubernatorial candidate Charles Herbster, also rose to national fame for her work on former President Trump's campaign.

Walz, a native of West Point and graduate of Chadron State College, is a favorite among Democratic governors, and rose to national prominence after making substantial investments in Minnesota's K-12 education system, moving to protect reproductive rights, and working to cut taxes despite spending large amounts on other initiatives. Ben Nelson, a former U.S. senator and Governor of Nebraska, is famous for casting the pivotal cloture vote for health care legislation under former President Barack Obama. He is also, as of this time, the last Democrat to hold statewide office in Nebraska.
