We aren't the only ones who believe in Kathy's message and ideas.
Here are a few of the Endorsements Kathy has received.

General Election

       Voters in District 25 have the opportunity to mark their ballots for Kathy Campbell, who has demonstrated extraordinary leadership in both the public and private sectors

      As a member of the Lancaster County Board, Campbell earned a reputation for a hand-on approach to solving problems. She did her homework and worked to build consensus. She chose not to seek reelection in 2003 after 16 years on the board.

      Currently executive vice president of the Cedars Home for Children Foundation, Campbell has served recently in capacities on groups dealing with important state issues, including serving as co-chair of the Nebraska Medicaid Reform Council and co-chair of a task force that held hearings across the state on transportation needs and financing.

      The background she gained from those activities will help her hit the ground running if she is elected to the Legislature.

      Campbell said her priorities as a state senator will include economic development and developing sustainable fiscal strategies. She also plans to work on legislation to ensure the safety of abused and neglected children and wants to expand opportunities for private organizations to get involved in foster care.

      If past is a predictor of future success, Campbell has one of the best track records of anyone running for Legislature. The Journal Star editorial board recommends a vote for Campbell without reservation.

      "Campbell stands out for her breadth of experience in government service in Nebraska and her thoughtful, conscientious approach to important issues. If elected, she not only could hit the ground running but also has the potential to be a strong leader for the Legislature.

      Governors have appointed Campbell 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. Her knowledge and judgment would be particularly valuable in helping the Legislature address problems involving foster care, social services in general and the Beatrice State Developmental Center.

      Campbell was a Lancaster County Board member 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 emphasizes — 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 are assertive in promoting their interests."

      "Small business is the heart and soul of Nebraska's economy, and we need a Legislature that supports free enterprise," said Bob Hallstrom, state director of NFIB/Nebraska. "The National Federation of Independent Business supports candidates who support small business. The candidates we are endorsing clearly understand that small business owners need better access to affordable healthcare and believe fiscal responsibility, a sensible workers' compensation system and less regulation are important to our future."

      Campbell's experience on the Lincoln Electric System board and the Lancaster County Commission will allow her to step into leadership roles in the Legislature, the group said. “The board was very impressed with Campbell's preparation and research on our key issues.”

Primary Election

      Kathy Campbell, 61, is best known for the 16 years she spent on the Lancaster County Board, where she earned a reputation for hard work, fiscal common sense and problem-solving.

      Campbell stepped down from the county board six years ago and now is executive vice president of Cedars Youth Services.

      Since then, she has served on several important task forces that have given her valuable background in state issues. One task force held hearings across the state on road-building needs and financing issues. She also served on a task force that made recommendations for Medicaid reform.

      As a state senator, Campbell said her priorities would include economic development and developing sustainable fiscal strategies for the state.

      She also would support legislation on issues that would benefit children, such as ensuring the safety of abused and neglected children. She is interested in expanded opportunities for private organizations to get involved in foster care.

      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.

      The LEA-PAC Interview Committee was impressed by Kathy's experience and community connections. Kathy told her [interview] Team that the legislature needs to "look beyond today" and believes the key to student assessment is whether or not it "enhances a student's learning."
