What Is the Future of the Nebraska Democratic Party?
Statewide, the Nebraska Democratic Party is grappling with questions about its future, even as it’s slowly gaining ground in fielding more candidates and closing lopsided results in most races.

Boost Crew Target
Keep Local Alive – Omaha has announced this week’s Boost Crew location, and you’re going to love it. In fact, Omahans have been loving it since 1980. Don Carmelo’s was responsible for introducing Omaha to the concept of New York Style pizza, and has enjoyed thriving locally for 40 years. This year, however, has been as hard as the previous 39 had been prosperous. Not only has the establishment suffered under the weight of the pandemic, but it has had to struggle after the May 24 loss of owner, co-founder and father Tony Magistro to esophageal cancer.
The family could use your support, and KLA has suggestions for how to help.
