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!

Earlier today, Cornhusker Boys’ State delegates voted in the gubernatorial primary, from which Nationalist candidate Christian Mapes of Valley Forge and Federalist candidate Lukas Fricke of Alamo emerged victorious. This evening, these two candidates participated in a small townhall debate, which precedes the debate that will take place in front of the entire delegation tomorrow morning in Kimball Hall. Among the issues debated were agricultural subsidies, education, gay marriage, universal healthcare, imminent domain, and Second Amendment rights. Special thanks to our newspaper staff and multimedia staff for streaming coverage of the debate live for all towns in Cornhusker Boys’ State to watch.
