Local-State Fremont Tribune Wednesday, May 11, 1994 A3 Midland graduate makes sPence plans to unseat Hoagland Party. Phil Young, economic development, state spending, education, the environment and agriculture. Nelson maintains he has a solid record in all those areas. He proudly points to $100 million in budget reductions accomplished in one special legislative session and the creation of a state lottery. Spence maintains that state government can be managed better and cheaper.

He maintains that Nelsons accomplishments have been minimal. Nelson takes the criticism in stride. It is all well and good to criticize, Nelson said. But what you have to remember is that when you become governor you have not been anointed, you have been elected. You dont know more just because people start calling you governor, and the problems cant be dealt with by criticizing someone else.

Spence and Witek stand together on the crime issue. Spence said he favored the sweeping anti-crime proposals that Witek championed. Spence said he is standing by his proposal for a constitutional amendment that would do away with the state Board of Parole and make the governors office responsible for deciding when prisoners may be released early. I think the governor should personally sign off on it before anyone convicted of a violent crime gets an early release, Spence said. Nelson noted that he tried to fire several Parole Board members, appointed new members and has favored tougher parole standards.

Other issues expected to be raised in the campaign include executive director of the state GOP, brushed off the suggestion of dissension in the Republican ticket and said the Spcnce-Witek ticket had a good shot at winning the statehouse. Gene Spence showed strength, statewide, in his first statewide campaign, Young sid. He shares the views of the majority of Nebraskans on everything from spending to fighting crime. He also has Ben Nelsons record going for him. The fight against crime loomed as an issue in the campaign ahead.

Nelson maintains that crimefighting legislation he favored and signed into law this year wasnt everything he wanted, but it was everything that could be had from a Legislature that was divided over how to fight crime. Theres no substitute for hard work and shoe leather, he said. Hoagland, 52, won the Democratic primary against perennial candidate Jess M. Pritchett. Hoagland had 24,341, or 73 percent, to Pritchetts 9,199, cr 27 percent.

In the Lincoln-dominated 1st District, Lincoln businessman Patrick Combs handily won the Democratic primary. Hell go up against Rep. Doug Bereuter, who wants a ninth term in Congress. Bereuter, 54, walked through the primary unopposed. Combs defeated Marlin Pals, another perennial candidate, with 74 percent of the vote.

Bereuter said Combs, a 28-year-old business consultant and used-car dealer, is energetic but inexperienced. OMAHA (AP) A divisive Republican primary turned into a show of unity behind victor Jon Christensen as the GOP immediately directed its attention to unseating Democratic U.S. Rep. Peter Hoagland in Nebraskas 2nd District. Christensen, an insurance salesman and graduate of Midland Lutheran College, collected 53 percent of the vote Tuesday in the Omaha-dominated district in defeating former Douglas County attorney Ron Staskiewicz and state Sen.

Brad Ashford. Staskiewicz then introduced Christensen for his acceptance speech and Christensen said Ashford pledged his support in a telephone call to his campaign. Weve already united, Christensen said. Theirs was the only com petitive primary race in the three Nebraska congressional districts. Republican incumbents in the other two districts were unopposed, as was one Democratic challenger.

The final days of the 2nd District GOP campaign saw Christensen, 31, accuse Staskiewicz of having been too soft on child molesters as a prosecutor. Stas-kiewiczs response: Christensen twice flunked the bar exam. Staskiewicz, 50, was taking his third shot at Hoaglands seat. He lost the Republican primary in 1990 and a close general election race in 1992. Christensen had 26,473 votes to 12,319, or 25 percent, for Ashford and 11,416, or 23 percent, for Staskiewicz.

Christensen said he won the primary with hard work.
