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.

Petition Fraud, the Governor’s Race, & Trouble for Nebraska Republicans | Ryan Horn

Republican political strategist Ryan Horn joins the show to break down a fast-moving week in Nebraska politics. We discuss the Lincoln petition fraud investigation, Brett Lindstrom’s failed attempt to qualify for the governor’s race after fraudulent signatures were flagged, growing questions about quality control in petition campaigns, and what the shake-up means for Gov. Jim Pillen’s reelection prospects. Horn also weighs in on the Republican Party’s weakening advantage on the economy, inflation, tariffs, and whether Nebraska voters are starting to sour on the GOP brand.

Inside Nebraska’s Giant Petition Scandal: Five Arrests, 13,000 Flagged Signatures

Longtime political consultant Kate Wolfe joins the show to break down the alleged petition fraud tied to Good Government Lincoln’s failed city charter initiative effort. Drawing on her experience managing statewide petition campaigns, Wolfe explains how legitimate signature collection and verification should work, where she believes this effort may have broken down, and why the unusually high rejection rate raised immediate red flags. We also discuss paid and out-of-state circulators, Nebraska’s history of petition law changes, calls for new restrictions, and whether the current system actually failed… or worked exactly as intended.⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻
