Both of Nebraska’s U.S. Senate seats are on the ballot this year. There is a special election for the seat that last came up in 2020, and there is the regular election for a six-year term for the other seat.
In the regular election, no Democrat filed. But there is a strong independent candidate, Dan Osborn, who is getting on the ballot with a petition. There will also be a nominee from the Legal Marijuana Now Party. That party has a contested primary on May 14, between Kenneth Peterson and Kerry Eddy.
No Libertarians are running for either U.S. Senate seat.
In the presidential primary, there are five Libertarians on the ballot: Charles Ballay, Jacob Hornberger, Lars Mapstead, Chase Oliver, and Michael Rectenwald. Candidates get on the ballot by being mentioned in the news media.
Down with commie Oliver!
HOW UN-EQUAL ARE NE BALLOT ACCESS LAWS FOR PARTISAN OFFICES – ESP USA SENATE ???
Flashback:
The current Dem contender for the special election seat won over 6% as a write-in in 2020. He received support from the party after the party asked the nominated candidate to drop out due to sending a sexually inappropriate comment about a campaign staff member in a group text (is that really the reason?). To be fair, the nominated candidate in 2020 won the primary with only 31% of the vote.
Libertarians are missing an opportunity.
Louis makes a good point.
Has Trump made an endorsement?
