Christa Yoakum

Lancaster County Commissioner. Fighting for common sense for working families.

[Jane Fleming Kleeb🇺🇸We The People @janekleeb]

Want to highlight some great local wins in the Neb...@ChristaForNE on Lancaster County Commission, @mary4nppd on NPPD, @BostarEliot on #NEleg, Art Tanderup on NRD. These folks are in the trenches with family farmers and ranchers and are true climate advocates. #Progress

[Christa Yoakum @ChristaForNE]

It happens when we show up, every day, and work to make the change we want to see.

Let's keep working together to make our community and our country stronger, more accepting, and an even better place to live.

Thank you again for everything. This is truly a team win.

--Christa

[Christa Yoakum @ChristaForNE]

We did it!

The results are in, and I am happy to declare that we won!

I am so proud of the race we ran together.

You joined me as we fought for clean energy, for working families, and for a local government that responds to the diverse communities they serve.

[Christa Yoakum @ChristaForNE]

I am so thankful for your support throughout this campaign.

But this election isn't the end.

On the County Board, I will keep fighting for what I believe in. Progress doesn't happen if we get complacent and happy with our wins.

[Christa Yoakum @ChristaForNE]

I've called a lot of voters over the years, but it's different making those calls for yourself.

I love saying to voters, "I'm your neighbor. I live just a few blocks over" or "We bought our first house in your neighborhood. It was a great place for us to raise our family."

[Christa Yoakum @ChristaForNE]

Polls are open until 8:00pm. If you are in line by 8:00pm - stay in line! Election officials MUST let you vote if you are in line at your polling place by 8:00pm.

[NE Secretary of State Robert Evnen @NebraskaSOS]

The Secretary of State Office has received reports of anonymous phone calls to voters telling voters to “stay home and stay safe.”

Our polling places across the state are open. Our voters and our poll workers will be kept safe.
“Elections matter and your vote counts."

[Christa Yoakum @ChristaForNE]

It's Election Day! Polls are open until 8:00pm.

[Christa Yoakum @ChristaForNE]

I'm running to serve all the diverse communities in my district.

Lancaster County is stronger when we bring people together, find common ground, and work to make our community better for everyone.

[Christa Yoakum @ChristaForNE]

@Taizoomzoom 💪💪💪 Yes!

[Christa Yoakum @ChristaForNE]

Still have your vote by mail ballot? It's too late to put it in the mail- use a ballot drop box!

Ballot drop boxes will be at the Lincoln Public Libraries through today.

After today, take your ballot to the the drop box at 601 N 46th Street, before 8pm on November 3rd.

[Christa Yoakum @ChristaForNE]

Still have a ballot at home? It's too late to mail it - be sure to drop it off at the Election Commission, 601 N 46th Street.

[Christa Yoakum @ChristaForNE]

Voters in my district got a negative mailer about someone named "Christie Yoakum."

To be clear, there's no relation. And this Christie sounds pretty bad.

Anyway, I hope you'll vote for me, Christa, tomorrow. Polls are open 8am-8pm.

[Christa Yoakum @ChristaForNE]

Masks are good for our local economy and help keep businesses open.

[Lincoln Journal Star @JournalStarNews]

“The majority of the groups we talk to, one of the first things they ask us is 'does your city have a mask ordinance?'” one official said. “They’re far more likely to travel to this destination, or any destination, if there’s a mask ordinance." https://t.co/vS7UDc5GkV

We have wind turbines here in Lancaster County.

We...still have birds, too.

Let's keep expanding clean energy

[Christa Yoakum @ChristaForNE]

I'm so proud of the work our Lancaster County Election commission has done.

From proactively notifying voters about polling place changes, library ballot drop boxes, and support for expanded absentee balloting, they've been a great example of nonpartisan public service.

[Lancaster County Election Commission @LCElections]

Early Vote by mail deadline approaching: Friday, Oct. 23rd at 6:00 p.m. is the deadline for our office to receive applications for early vote ballots to be mailed. An early vote application is available on our website at the following location: https://t.co/76OtKJc5jV

No eminent domain for private gain.

It's that simple.

[Jane Fleming Kleeb🇺🇸We The People @janekleeb]

Eminent domain should have never been used. The maple farm was destroyed. The family won in court...but land should not be taken by eminent domain for pipelines. Laws must change. Vote for candidates who believe in climate and land justice.
