  • Unicam Kids!: a Visit to Your Nebraska Legislature
    UNICAM KIDS! A Visit to Your Nebraska Legislature guided by George W. Norris, “the father of the Unicameral” Unicam Kids i! I’m George Norris. I represented Nebraska in Congress from 1913 to 1943. Many people call me Hthe father of Nebraska’s Unicameral Legislature. A unicameral is a legislature with just one group of people to make laws. Nebraska has the nation’s only unicameral, which meets here at the Capitol in Lincoln to make laws for the state. I believed this one-house system would serve Nebraskans better than a bicameral, or two-house system, found in every other state. Nebraskans voted to change to a unicameral in 1934, and the first unicameral met in 1937. Let’s go inside. I’ll show you around! Nebraska is unique for its unicameral and also its unusual Capitol building. Architect Bertram Goodhue wanted the Capitol’s design to reflect the spirit of Nebraska’s people. The words and pictures on the outside of the building show Nebraska’s place in the history of law and democracy. The Capitol took 10 years to build and was finished in 1932. The tower rises almost 400 feet and is topped by a 19-foot bronze statue of a man tossing seeds, called “The Sower.” — 1 — A Visit to Your Nebraska Legislature y experience as a lawmaker made me wish for a smoother processM to make laws. I encour- aged Nebraskans to vote for a new, smaller legislature so the process would be simpler and allow for more public input. Some Nebraskans worried about becoming the only unicameral.

  • Arts Advocate Voter's Guide
    The 2020 elections will have a huge impact on the arts in our state. If you agree with thousands of Nebraskans who believe the arts play an important role in our families, our schools and our communities, you will want to know where the candidates stand. Candidates in the May 12th primary election for the Nebraska State Legislature were asked to complete a survey on issues important to the arts. This report summarizes responses received from candidates as of April 28th. Each candidate’s survey response can also be found at our 2020 Election Center. This survey was conducted in partnership with the following organizations: Nebraskans for the Arts (NFTA) is a statewide citizen organization dedicated to advising policy makers, elected officials, and community leaders on the importance of strong arts-education in our schools, the economic impact of the arts in our communities, and the benefits of pro- arts policies for Nebraska. The Nebraska Art Teachers Association (NATA) advocates for and advances art education in Nebraska to fulfill human potential and promote global understanding. Nebraska Music Educators Association (NMEA), founded in 1966, is the statewide association for music educators, whose purpose is the advancement of music education through the promotion of better school music, and to foster active music-making by all Nebraskans. The Nebraska Speech, Communications, and Theatre Association encourages high standards in speech, debate, and theatre instruction throughout Nebraska elementary and secondary schools, colleges, and universities. The first section of this report lists the candidates running for office by Legislative District. The candidates who responded to the survey are identified and their responses to multiple choice questions are listed.
