Today I had the pleasure of not only attending the Lancaster County Convention but also participating as a delegate and a caucus chair. My first time at a county convention, I walked away impressed and enthused as we enter the prime of election season. Lancaster boasted over 200 delegates in attendance! Participants included long-time party activists and many 'first-timers' who are so frustrated with the Obama administration, they thought County Convention would be a great way to get involved. 
Guest speakers included U.S. Senator Mike Johanns accompanied by his lovely wife Stephanie, Governor Dave Heineman, U.S. Congressman Jeff Fortenberry, and State Treasurer candidate Don Stenberg. Many other electeds attended as either guests or delegates including Attorney General Jon Bruning, Regent Tim Clare, State Board of Education Member Bob Evnen, State Senator Tony Fulton along with our Republican legislative candidates Nancy Russell, Chad Wright, Tom Dierks, and John Knabe. A round of applause for Lancaster Chair Paul Zoz, Convention Coordinator Andre Mick and Executive Director Joe Murray for a successful evening!
