Stothert v. Ewing: Who Should You Vote For? | Omaha Mayor Race 2025

Omaha City General Election is Tuesday, May 13th! Check your polling place here: https://www.votercheck.necvr.ne.gov/VoterView

During the campaign season, we interviewed all the candidates for the Omaha City Mayoral race, including the two who advanced through the April primary election: Incumbent Jean Stothert (R) and Douglas County Treasurer John Ewing Jr. (D). We partnered with Flatwater Free Press and Civic Nebraska on their Voter Guide for the Omaha City Election and shared those interviews with them for wider publication. The Voter Guide can more accessed https://voterguide.flatwaterfreepress.org/

In the PR world, there’s a lot of talk about the importance of a strong, memorable elevator pitch — a clear message that tells voters exactly why they should cast their ballot for you. Dan asked both Mayor Stothert and John Ewing to do just that: give voters their pitch for why they deserve your vote on May 13th.

Nebraska Governor Candidate Sounds Off on AI Data Centers

Should Nebraska keep offering incentives to attract massive AI data centers? Or is it time to slow down and put local communities first?

Former Nebraska State Senator and now gubernatorial candidate Lynne Walz joins The Dan Parsons Show to discuss one of the biggest issues facing the state: AI data centers, local control, water, electricity, and economic development.

Watch this short clip from our conversation, then let me know where you stand in the comments.

Do you support bringing more AI data centers to Nebraska?

A Nebraska Father’s Plea to Gov. Pillen: “Stop Hurting Families Like Mine”

A Nebraska Father’s Plea to Gov. Pillen: “Stop Hurting Families Like Mine”

For more than 40 years, Mike Browne’s two sons have required around-the-clock care because of profound developmental disabilities and severe autism. Now, a new state assessment says they’re suddenly “less disabled.”

In this emotional message, Browne explains why he believes Nebraska’s new disability assessment system is producing results that don’t match reality—not just for his family, but for more than 700 families across the state.

He is calling on Governor Jim Pillen to pause the current assessment process, restore families to their previous level of care, and fix or replace the assessment tool before more vulnerable Nebraskans are harmed.

Browne urges viewers to sign the petition through the Disability Alliance of Nebraska and help ensure that individuals with profound disabilities receive the services they need.
