Five political science students at the University of Nebraska at Kearney will give their views of what’s ahead in Nebraska’s Third Congressional District primary election in the next edition of NET Television’s “Statewide.”
The show, which will air Friday, Nov. 11, at 7:30 p.m. and again Sunday, Nov. 13, at noon, features reporter Perry Stoner interviewing the students, and UNK political science faculty Drs. Diane Duffin and Peter Longo.
While there are numerous contenders who want to fill the open Congressional seat, Stoner quizzes the students and faculty about what they consider to be the top issues, and how candidates can rise above the crowded field.
Students interviewed for the story include Alicia Mueller of Grand Island, Tom McCarty ofLexington, Josh Dethlefsen of Sutherland, Chris Weiss of York, and Danielle Temple ofColorado Springs, Colo.
