It was disappointing to see former state senators DiAnna Schimek, Colby Coash, and Anna Wishart writing in apparent support of the negative campaign being run by Jason Prokop for District 27 ( letter, Oct. 27 ). I live in District 27 and haven't seen Prokop in my neighborhood.
All I've seen are his hit pieces against his opponent, Dawn Liphardt. Liphardt has walked my neighborhood a couple times; she takes the time to have conversations about what is important and get our opinions. Shame on Prokop for slinging mud instead of doing the harder work of getting to know his constituents.
I'm surprised the former senators would be OK with his tactics: They should know better than anyone that getting anything done in Nebraska's Unicameral requires diplomacy and getting along with others. People are also reading..
. Liphardt has proven she can do that. Prokop's attacks haven't even been factual.
The flyers are riddled with deception, which may be why he's afraid to campaign door to door. This does not bode well for his ability to get things done if he were elected. Vote Dawn Liphardt for Legislature District 27.
She has the leadership, passion, intelligence and temperament to represent District 27. Pat Jorgens, Lincoln Catch the latest in Opinion Get opinion pieces, letters and editorials sent directly to your inbox weekly!.
