A podcast that lifts up, instead of tearing down.

Long before today’s fights over mail-in voting, Nebraska Republicans were helping expand it.

In my interview with Nebraska Secretary of State candidate Bob Krist, we revisit a fascinating piece of Nebraska election history: legislation introduced by then-State Sen. Deb Fischer in 2005 that helped pave the way for all-mail elections in some Nebraska counties.

The politics of voting by mail looked very different 20 years ago.

🎙️ Watch the full Bob Krist interview now on The Dan Parsons Show.

Former Nebraska State Senator and 2018 Democratic gubernatorial nominee Bob Krist is running for Nebraska Secretary of State as a candidate of the newly formed America First Party.

Krist joins The Dan Parsons Show to discuss his decision, the creation of Nebraska’s newest political party, election integrity and the responsibilities of the Secretary of State.

Dan also challenges Krist on what “America First” means to him, and asks whether Joe Biden was legitimately elected president in 2020.

It’s an in-depth conversation about one of the most unexpected candidacies of Nebraska’s 2026 election.

Kansas Gov. Laura Kelly inherited a state facing serious fiscal challenges. Eight years later, she says Kansas has a $2 billion rainy-day fund, has paid down debt, fully funded schools and transportation — and cut taxes.

In this exclusive conversation on The Dan Parsons Show, Kelly joins Nebraska gubernatorial candidate and former state Sen. Lynne Walz to discuss what Kansas learned — and what those lessons could mean for Nebraska.

We talk about:
• Winning Republican and independent voters in traditionally Republican states
• Governing with a Republican-controlled legislature
• Nebraska’s budget challenges and Walz’s criticism of across-the-board cuts
• Economic development and rebuilding rural communities
• Why Kelly says divided government can force compromise
• The changing tone of American politics
• Whether the political middle is making a comeback
• Why Kelly believes Walz is prepared to be governor
Walz argues Nebraska is “bleeding” financially. Kelly responds with the story of Kansas’ fiscal turnaround, including rebuilding reserves, investing in schools and infrastructure, attracting major economic development and cutting taxes.
It’s a conversation about two neighboring states, two political paths, and whether Kansas offers lessons for Nebraska’s future.
