LINCOLN- With the 2024 Nebraska primary just under six months away, several more candidates for the Nebraska Legislature have thrown their hats into the ring. This includes Tim Benak and Flint Harkness for District 5, Julia Palzer in District 9, Glen Meyer for District 17, and Jason Prokop for District 27.

Benak is a ten-year veteran of the Omaha Fire Department, and said his focus will be on "public safety through our public school system, rehabilitation of those involved in the justice system and well-paying jobs." Harkness, running for the same seat, is currently a resource teacher for special education, and promises "real progress" toward safe, high-quality schools.

Palzer, a private attorney, is set to challenge incumbent Sen. John Cavanaugh for the District 9 seat, and previously served as the dean of admissions at Creighton University School of Law. Palzer is a Republican. Meyer, chairman of the Thurston County Board, said his priorities will be lowering taxes, protecting the Second Amendment, and ensuring parental rights. Prokop announced his bid with the endorsement of Sen. Anna Wishart, and said he seeks to fix the tax system, grow the economy, and keep neighborhoods safe.
