Today’s bonus episode continues our limited series of interviews with host and NewDEAL CEO Debbie Cox Bultan as we explore what's happening across the country heading into the 2024 Elections. Debbie catches up with NewDEALer and Lincoln, NE, City Councilmember Tom Beckius to learn why Nebraska is making headlines this year despite not being a typically eye-catching state when it comes to elections. Beckius details recent attempts by Republicans to push a winner-takes-all method of allocating electoral college votes in the state and explains the difference between the dueling ballot measures – Initiative 439 and Initiative 434 – which seek to protect and limit abortion access, respectively. Tune in as he shares his perspective on the state’s surprising senate race between incumbent Deb Fischer and challenger Dan Osborn and why housing is top-of-mind for Nebraska voters.
