LINCOLN- Public safety, housing, and taxes are among the top issues being discussed among the three candidates running for the District 25 legislative seat, which covers the eastern half of Lancaster County. Incumbent Sen. Carolyn Bosn is running for the seat for the first time after being appointed by Gov. Pillen to succeed former Sen. Suzanne Geist.

Bosn, a former prosecutor, is set to face Nicki Behmer Popp, a real estate agent, and Aurang Zeb, a business owner, during next Tuesday's primary election. If elected, Bosn said she plans to continue her work to reduce Nebraska's recidivism rate. Behmer Popp, who previously worked in the Legislature's Unicameral Information Office, seeks to protect Nebraska's unicameral structure, which she describes as a "gem."

Zeb, an immigrant from Pakistan, owns several pieces of real estate as well as a construction and medical company. A Democrat, Zeb said his main goal if elected would be to provide for more affordable housing. All three candidates highlighted property taxes as a major issue as well.
