Redistricting Battle Comes to Nebraska? w/ John Murante, Fmr State Treasurer

Former Nebraska State Treasurer and State Senator John Murante joins the show to reflect on his path from family business to public service, his role in stabilizing the state’s retirement system, and his move into the private sector. Dan and John dig into the politics of redistricting in Nebraska and across the country, the risks of mid-decade gerrymandering, and why bipartisanship and integrity are essential for getting things done.
