FREMONT- A businesswoman who says she has the credentials to promote growth is vying against a firefighter supported by several firefighter groups and labor unions in the District 15 race for Nebraska Legislature. The two Republican candidates, Roxie Kracl and Dave Wordekemper, are vying to replace State Sen. Lynne Walz of Fremont, who is barred by term limits from running again.

Kracl is president of the Credit Bureau Services in Fremont, a credit and collections company that provides programs for Nebraska businesses. She is a former chair of the Dodge County Republican Party and endorsed by the Nebraska Farm Bureau, U.S. Sen. Pete Ricketts, Fremont Mayor Joey Spellerberg, and former Nebraska Gov. Dave Heineman.

Wordekemper, a Fremont firefighter, is the eastern vice president for the Nebraska Professional Fire Fighters Association, the AFL-CIO affiliated union representing more than 1,300 Nebraska fire fighters and emergency medical personnel. Wordekemper was formerly president of the Fremont Fire Fighters Local 1015.
