The Omaha World Herald has endorsed Kathy Campbell for the Nebraska 25th Legislative District Primary Election.

In their endorsement the Omaha World Herald said the following:

      Kathy Campbell stands out for her breadth of experience in government service in Nebraska. Governors have appointed her to various state task forces on issues including road policy and behavioral health. Her knowledge on those issues is extensive, and she is articulate in examining them.

      She was a Lancaster County commissioner for 16 years and helped operate a large-scale nursery business. In 2004, she served on the search committee for a new University of Nebraska president.

      Campbell brings thoughtfulness not only to her analysis of issues but also to her perspective on the Legislature. Lawmakers should focus not on how many bills they can introduce but on what they can do to help Nebraska meet its long-term challenges, she says.

      She also emphasized -- in a comment heard too rarely among legislative candidates -- that the Legislature needs to be mindful to stand up for its prerogatives in the termlimits era, when special interests and other institutions will be assertive in promoting their interests.
