Last night I traveled to Central City for the Merrick County Convention. Despite dark clouds looming to the Northwest, a dedicated crowd met to listen to Legislative District 34 candidate Brandon Hunnicutt as well as Merrick County Attorney Candidate Lynelle Homolka. Hunnicutt focused on the economic situation facing the State of Nebraska and outlined his "tell it as it is" approach to government and public office. Homolka is currently running unopposed but stressed the importance of continuing her campaign as there could be an opponent by November.
The Convention was quite successful, with the election of two delegates to State Convention as well as the election of two alternates. All county officers were re-elected and are looking forward to growing the Republican Party in Merrick County. Before adjournment, County Chairman Norm Krug led a discussion of the Nebraska Republican Party Platform. They plan to offer amendments to the Platform Committee regarding a stronger stance against drugs as well as to encourage the support of "ease of transportation" for ethanol and biodiesel, which is inline with legislation supported in Congress by Congressman Adrian Smith.
Refreshments were provided following the meeting and the dark clouds rolled in. Delegates dashed to their cars in hopes of missing the downpour and I headed back to Omaha.
