Word is getting around about the DU


I've had a couple of emails since the first of the year in an exploratory fashion about IF they run, will we raise funds.

I'm slowing down. We won't have as many candidates to raise funds for as we did in 2024. We will limit our links to the House and Senate in purple (toss up) candidates.

Twice in three weeks, I have been asked in person by candidates for US Congress to help them raise funds on the DU. The DU is officially neutral, as these two will be squaring off in the primary for NE-2, the Blue Dot. I did tell Deniece Powell last night I had already done some promotional work for her on the DU. I posted her announcement she is running in LBN a month ago. See below. She mentioned she knew after talking to Tony Vargas we raised almost $44,000 for him.

Number of hats you wear here OmahaSteve. If anyone deserves to slow down, it's you.
Thank you for all you do.
