Walz Picks Farmer Steffen as Running Mate | Omaha News

Nebraska’s Democratic gubernatorial hopeful Lynne Walz has chosen Ben Steffen, a lifelong farmer and community leader from Humboldt, as her running mate. Steffen brings decades of service to local boards, schools, and rural radio, plus a deep commitment to respecting everyday Nebraskans. The pair will announce their ticket Tuesday at 10:30 AM on a family farm north of Elkhorn — a symbol of their roots and shared values. Steffen, who farms the same land his family has tended for 130 years, joins Walz as she prepares to challenge GOP Gov. Jim Pillen and Legal Marijuana Now’s Rick Beard in a pivotal election.
