OMAHA, NE — Scott Petersen, Republican nominee for Nebraska Secretary of State, joined Matt Kittle on NewsRadio 1110 KFAB's Chris Baker Show on October 16 to discuss the final weeks of Nebraska's 2026 general election, election integrity, outside political spending, and the importance of grassroots voter turnout.
With Election Day approaching on November 3, Petersen emphasized that the campaign's focus has expanded beyond election integrity to the broader responsibility of defending Nebraska's future.
"The big question in the primary was election integrity, and the voters answered that by giving me a big victory. Now we move to the general, and election integrity isn't the big issue. It's defending Nebraska."

"It's about turnout, turnout, turnout."
He also discussed Nebraska's U.S. Senate and legislative races, political advertising, and the importance of voters evaluating candidates and their messages.
Looking Ahead to November 3
