NE House races

1st District: Incumbent Republican Jeff Fortenberry vs former Lt. Gov and former NE Director of Economic Development Maxine Moul. While Fortenberry is the incumbent, Moul has a long and distingished history of public service and strong ties to US Senator (and former Gov) Ben Nelson. Could be an interesting race. Fortenberry is apparently a former Lincoln City Councilman and serves and the House Agriculture, International Relations and Small Business Committees.

2nd District: My home district, Incumbent Republican Lee Terry is being challenged by attorney and former Omaha Chamber of Commerce Director Jim Esch. Terry is serving his fourth term, serves on the Energy and Commerce Committee and three of that body's subcommittees, most prominently Telecommunications. Esch was the Student Body President at both Creighton Prep and Creighton University.

3rd District: I'll examine this one later as the incumbent, Tom Osbourne, is retiring to run for Governor.
