Nebraska Gubernatorial Candidate Discusses Nonprofit Agenda

The Chronicle this fall sent surveys to all major-party candidates in the 37 states that are holding gubernatorial races this year, asking how their proposed policies and programs would affect nonprofits in their states.

Between now and Election Day, we will post their responses on our Campaign 2010 Web page.

Today you can take a look at the reply from Mike Meister, a Democratic lawyer who is running for governor of Nebraska.

Mr. Meister said nonprofits in Nebraska have had problems getting paid by the state and “need to be assured that the state is a good partner and will honor the stipulations set forth in our contracts.”

If you would like to help ensure that the candidates in your state respond to our survey—or have any information about how the governor’s race in your state could affect nonprofits—please contact Suzanne Perry at suzanne.perry@philanthropy.com or (202) 466-1228.
