Hi all, months ago I made a post here to see if any early-career researchers were interested in a science policy initiative to ask candidates science policy questions. Well I’m back to share the resource we made! Not every candidate responded but those who did answered questions that relate to how they make decisions, what research they would prioritize funding for, and how science fits into their policies on a range of topics. I hope you take a look before heading to the polls and continue to contact your representatives about using good science after the election.

What do you think about these candidates understanding of STEM?

Hi everyone! I’m moving to Fairbury at the end of November for work and will be living on my own. I’m looking for a roommate, a room for rent, or a studio apartment.
I’ve tried searching online, but there don’t seem to be many listings available. I’m planning to contact some local apartment complexes, but I was wondering if anyone could recommend landlords, property managers, local housing groups, or other resources that might help me find a place to live.
Any advice or recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Heading from Colorado to Rapid City. Which route is better?

I hope this dude wins y’alls senate race.

America needs more working class people representing us in office.

Driving to Kearney and this is what Google Maps is telling me. Anyone else had this happen?

I honestly don’t know. Where did the money go?

The link is to the Platte Institute's plan for closing the revenue gap they helped create through tax cuts and incentives for the wealthy. So they want to repeal those cuts and restore services? Nope, their main focus is on implementing sales tax on a myriad of goods and services, including but not limited to:

--Doctor's visits
--Groceries

--Residential Water Service(!)

--Non-business legal services

It's kind of like Nebraska's own version of Project 2025. They want to distract you with culture wars to rob you blind to pay for their tax cuts. Have the day you vote for, Nebraskans

Two years ago, voters passed medical cannabis, yet our current elected officials have done everything in their power to sabotage and dismantle what voters passed. There are 11 days until Election Day, and if we want to ever see a medical program in our state, we have to vote like cannabis is on the ballot.

NMM is announcing our Compassionate Candidate Pledge which features candidates that will uphold the will of the voters including allowing all forms, and holding the Commission accountable.

Quite the pointed ad at Pillen from Lindstrom. It has been interesting to see this potential scandal be buried so far in this campaign. Curious to see if and how this makes any different.

We all (hopefully) want transparent and accessible elections. Put this number in your phone and if you see anything questionable when you vote, please report it to the Election Protection Hotline. Civic Nebraska has trained volunteers who can assist in correcting . . . um, unintentional mistakes being made by poll workers.

Tompkins is running for Nebraska Legislature against Rick Holdcroft. I haven't seen the actual mailer, and I'm going to guess it was from a PAC. If I had to venture a guess, it's Kathleen Kauth's group
