Last week we heard from Senator Danielle Conrad.  She shared her history about how politics became a passion for her at an early age, and how she's continued that throughout her service in the Nebraska State Legislature.  She was invited by current LD32 candidate (and Crete Rotary member), Shay Smith.  Senator Conrad shared what she believes it takes to be a strong candidate in Nebraska's legislature: smart, open-minded, hard-working, working across the aisle, mix of professional backgrounds in the Legislature, and taking feelings and emotions out of decisions to make the best decisions for the citizens of Nebraska.  Danielle's passion for making life better for Nebraskans was evident in her time with us, and we want to thank her for sharing during our meeting.
