232. Mayor Jean Stothert Makes Her Pitch for a Fourth Term

Mayor Jean Stothert is running for reelection against John Ewing.
The election is Tuesday, May 13.  We spoke to Ewing on last
week’s show, and you can find that episode wherever you get your
podcasts. 


This is Stothert’s fourth campaign for mayor. Before she entered
politics, Stothert was head nurse at St. Louis University
Hospital. She moved to Omaha with her family in 1993 and has
served on the Millard Board of Education and the Omaha City
Council before she began her first mayoral term in 2013.


Michael Griffin is talking with Stothert about her life before
politics and how her background in critical care nursing prepared
her for city government. She shares her priorities for a fourth
term, including increased public safety and developing the urban
core.
