The Nebraska Secretary of State’s office says both the Nebraska Working People Party and the America First Party have collected enough signatures to move forward in the formation process.
Both petitions reached the statutory thresholds, and verification ceased once each petition reached 110% of the required number of signatures in each congressional district and overall.
Organizers for each now have 20 days to submit their party’s constitution, bylaws and a certified list of the names and addresses of officers to the Secretary of State’s office, and if received by the deadline, certifications recognizing each party would be issued, and voters could begin registering with each.

- Future use of fireworks in Gering will be back to 'normal' for the most part after the City Council last week made further revisions to the related ordinance. Councilmembers voted 7-0 in favor of the changes, one of which will return the Independence Day fireworks discharge period to 10 days in the future. After the vote, Greg Trautman with Fireworks Unlimited thanked the council for returning the 4th of July use period back to where it was historically, but he said this year was devastating. The other revisions set the end time for 4th of July fireworks discharge to 10:00 p.m daily except for the holiday itself, and reducing New Year's discharge to New Year's Eve only. Those changes mirror the restrictions already in place in Scottsbluff and Terrytown
