Legislative District 2 encompasses Cass County and part of Lancaster County. The outgoing senator is Robert Clements.
Dean Helmick
Record – None yet. He was born in Montana, served as Cass County GOP chair, and claims to have served in the Air Force for 42 years (however he was retired at least by 2012, so why is he being dishonest about his service?).
Platform – He has promised to be just like Robert Clements, the outgoing legislator. Nothing about that promise inspires confidence. His platform includes the Republican standards of “protecting” women and fetuses, and fighting illegal immigration.
Jayden Speed
Record – None yet. He is a 5th-generation Nebraska, serves as Cass County Democrats Vice Chair, and led the successful recall campaign against a book banner in Plattsmouth, Nebraska. He served as Conestoga Junior-Senior High School’s first student school board member and student body president in his junior and senior years, and is pursuing his Bachelor’s Degree.
Our only concern? He’s young, but that also means he has energy, clarity, and a vested interest in the outcomes of legislative sessions for all Nebraskans.
Platform – His platform is extensive, encompassing fiscal concerns, infrastructure, rural development, and environmental protections.
