2020 Candidate Survey Responses/ Voter's Guide
The Nebraskans for the Arts (NFTA), Nebraska Art Teachers Association (NATA), Nebraska Music Educators Association (NMEA), and Nebraska Speech Communications and Theatre Association (NSCTA) joined together in sending a survey to help our membership learn about the positions that candidates for the Nebraska Legislature had about the arts and arts education.
Please see your candidates’ answers to our 2020 survey below. This survey was distributed to all incumbent legislators and challengers. All answers will be compiled in our Arts Advocates Voter’s Guide, to be published in late April.
If you do not see your district candidate(s) answers below, he or she have not returned a survey yet. Please urge your candidates to say where they stand on the arts. You can share the survey yourself (candidate survey link). Candidates respond when they know a potential voter is personally interested in an issue.
This survey strives to present fair and balanced information from all candidates, and is not providing candidate endorsements. Candidate survey results are unedited and is meant to educate voters about candidates in state races.
