Letter to the Editor: Put time, thought into your vote

Dear Editor,

Recently my granddaughter interviewed me for a history project. Later, she told me I was the only one of her class interviewees who was hopeful for our future as a country. That made me sad, but not discouraged, especially as a Nebraskan.

We are a state of thoughtful, hard-working citizens, and as a state and nation we have hard work to do. Our parties, as they exist, are not making acceptable progress.

In the past, we in Nebraska have been able to ignore the “R” or” D” after the names and thoroughly examine what skills the people running for elected offices have to improve our state and country.

This fall, I am hopeful each voter will again take the time to carefully assess the character, experiences and effectiveness of all candidates and vote for their educated best choice. We can – and will – work together to get the hard work done!
