Senator Tony Fulton Meets with Cornhusker Boys’ State Senators
Earlier this morning, Senator Tony Fulton of Nebraska’s twenty-ninth district met with the winners of yesterday’s state senate races to discuss the inner workings of Nebraska’s unicameral legislature. The purpose of this session was to prep newly-elected senators for their role within the legislative branch of the Cornhusker Boys’ State Government. Among the topics discussed were committees, appropriations, and state economics.

Gubernatorial Candidates Debate in Kimball
After the address by Mr. Buffet, Gubernatorial candidates Lucas Fricke (Federalist) and Christian Mapes (Nationalist) faced-off in formal debate. While the delegates held very similar positions on several issues, when the debate came to topics such as education, abortion, and the death penalty, there were clear divisions between the candidate’s beliefs. Both Lucas and Christian proved that they are excellent candidates for Governor. Best of luck, gentlemen!

Delegates Visit State Capitol
This afternoon, the delegates marched from Harper to the Nebraska State Capitol Building. The legislature met in the Old Senate Chamber, while the court appointees met with J. Kirk Brown, Solicitor General of Nebraska. Other delegates met with members of the offices that they have been elected to or involved with this week. All of the delegates were also given a general tour of and were allowed to explore the beautiful capitol building itself, including the stunning view from its top. Seeing the center of the Nebraska State Government brought home the lessons the delegates have learned throughout the week.
