On the evening of April 15, RLCNE will make public the first of its endorsements for the 2012 election cycle.  This endorsement will be for the U.S. Senate Race.  

Six Republicans have filed for that seat and will be on the ballot, however only four of them seem to really be running serious campaigns.

Endorsements for Federal races follow a two tiered process in states where there is a chartered organization (like Nebraska).  The first step is a recommendation for endorsement from the state organization board.  The second is consideration of that recommendation by the national organization's Board of Directors.

All candidates who wish to be endorsed by the RLC are asked to fill out a Federal Candidate Questionnaire, and sign the Liberty Compact--although in the case of a well known candidate, or one who has been endorsed by the RLC previously, the requirement for the questionnaire is sometimes waived.

Endorsements such as ours do not carry big dollars--but they do send a message to our members and friends about who WE think would be a good candidate, and who we think is worthy of your support--both financial and in terms of effort.

We'll be announcing our Senate endorsee soon.  We are currently reviewing potential endorsements for the legislature, as well as several local races.

Join Us as RLC-Nebraska hosts a GOP SENATE CANDIDATE DEBATE and holds our WINTER MEETING.

Four of the five Senate candidates (all but Attorney General Bruning) have already agreed to be there at 9 a.m. on Saturday the 11th.  We'll be in the "Paradise Room" of the Convention Center.  At the conclusion of the debate, we'll take a brief break--probably around 11 a.m., and the resume shortly thereafter. We'll probably break just long enough to clear out any public members who are in attendance, and long enough for everyone to grab a quick bite to eat (there are a number of fast-food type opportunities near the hotel). We anticipate being done and on the road not later than 3 p.m.
