Pertinent Evidence & Observations

Submitted by Tyler Cappel:

“I am the co-founder and chair of the Southwest Nebraska Libertarian Party, which covers Red Willow, Furnas, Gosper and Phelps Counties.  This last spring, I presented a 2nd Amendment Sanctuary bill to our county commissioners in Furnas County and helped get it passed.  I also coordinated a trap shoot event this last year to raise money for a scholarship fund.

I have served on our community’s Library Board and spent one year as its President during a time when we were planning for a large renovation and organizing a Gala to raise funds for the project.  As a personal trainer and business owner in Arapahoe, I organized a 5k color run to raise money for our local library.

I also spent 6 weeks knocking doors for Young Americans for Liberty in Iowa in 2020.”

It is very appreciated that Cappel took the time to provide additional information for deliberation. The active participation among the many duties Cappel holds is certainly commendable.
