District 40 candidate forum set for Thursday in Plainview

Nebraska Farm Bureau will sponsor a District 40 candidate forum, Thursday, March 31, at 7 p.m., at Mary's Restaurant, at 108 S. West Street, in Plainview.

Individuals interested in learning more about the four candidates running for the District 40 seat in the Nebraska legislature are invited to participate in the forum, sponsored by Antelope, Cedar, Dixon, Holt, Knox and Pierce County Farm Bureaus.

The four candidates who have filed to represent District 40 have been invited to participate, including Barry DeKay, of Niobrara; Robert Johnston, of Clearwater; Keith Kube, of Crofton and Mark Patefield, of Laurel.

Tim Gragert, of Creighton, currently represents District 40 in the legislature. He announced earlier this year that he will not seek re-election.

District 40 includes all of Antelope, Cedar, Holt and Knox counties and portions of Dixon and Pierce counties.

The forum will offer an opportunity to meet and ask questions of the candidates who are seeking to represent the district in the Nebraska legislature.

The event is free and open to the public. Doors will open 30 minutes before the forum begins to enable attendees the opportunity to meet candidates and submit written questions, for consideration, at the forum.

Organizers said the forum will last 90 minutes.
