Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Qualifies for Nebraska Ballot

Nebraskans will have the opportunity to vote for Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as an Independent Candidate for President, as his campaign announced the collection of the necessary 2,500 signatures for qualification on the state’s 2024 November general election ballot.

In fact, according to the Kennedy campaign, they have nearly double the required amount — collecting more than 4,800 signatures from Nebraska voters.

In mid-December, Kennedy rallied hundreds of voters in northwest Lincoln, producing a likely-bulk of these signatures and sharing his campaign vision/thoughts on a variety of issues he’s become known to canvass, such as corporate consolidation, government corruption and the proliferation of chronic disease.

The addition of Nebraska puts Kennedy one state closer to nation wide ballot access. Kennedy has also qualified via signature petition in Utah, New Hampshire, Nevada, Hawaii, North Carolina, and Idaho.

In late-March, Kennedy named attorney and tech entrepreneur Nicole Shanahan as his vice presidential running mate.

The Kennedy-Shanahan ticket is actively collecting signatures in 35 additional states, aiming to land on the ballot in all 50 states and the District of Columbia.

This qualification occurs as Nebraska’s election season heats up, with early vote-by-mail ballots arriving in mailboxes this week in Lincoln-Lancaster County. Some polling has indicated favorable support for Kennedy as a third option in the presidential rematch of President Joe Biden and ex-president Donald Trump, possibly foreshadowing a competitive presidential race and a waning allegiance to the U.S. political duopoly of Republicans/Democrats.

Kennedy will return to Nebraska two more times this April. He’ll be at Fala’s Treasures & Coffee House in Elkhorn on April 13th for a voter “meet-up,” and host a booth at Earth Day Omaha in Elmwood Park on April 27th. For more information, visit kennedy24.com/#NE-events.
