Nebraska 1st Initiative
We need to push a Nebraska 1st initiative. There are many ways that our government contracts with other States to do work that we can do in Nebraska. We should be utilizing our contractors and unions and investing in them. Investing in our own contractors and our own services is the only way to create economic stability. Hundreds of millions of dollars go to contracts with Colorado and Wyoming and that creates instability in our economy. If we want progressive improvements, we need to think of Nebraska first.
Health Programs.
There are many areas that need to be worked on and improved in our health programs. Over the past decade our government has decreased funds for clinics, drug rehab clinics, mental health clinics, and VA care. There are areas that I would want to work on and improve. To date, most people that need drug rehab or mental health end up in our correctional facilities rather than get the help they need. This has increased the recidivism rates and overpopulated our jail system. Utilizing drug courts, drug rehab facilities, mental health facilities, and a diverse diversion program has shown to reduce the recidivism rates by 60%.
Reduce Energy Cost by 60%
I will continue to work on a program that I've been researching that will decrease greenhouse gases, improve energy efficiency, and put more money into each district while decreasing everyone's gas and electric bills. The research shows that on average would decrease utilities by 60%. This program will bring more money into each community in the entire state, and at the same time it would reinvest into each community to advance educations and technology. We keep funds reinvesting into our own communities rather than spending our tax dollars in other States.

Letter to the Editor
District 47 Campaign Announcement for 2024
2022 Attorney General Candidate “Larry Bolinger,” is seeking the Nebraska District 47 seat for 2024. Senator Erdman is terming out and Larry believes he can better represent the district.
Larry is a veteran, a graduate of UNO, has a Bachelor of Science Degree, majored in Political Science, and minored in Criminology. He has a Master of Public Administration out of Bellevue University and received Omega Nu Lambda Honor Society for Academic Excellence in May of 2023. He ran his own contractor business for more than 20 years and authored 18 books. His last three books cover the past 20 years he has spent in politics. He has written and researched more than 50 policies to help his community and State.
Bolinger: “The number one thing we need in District 47 is a candidate that is a steward to the people. I have not seen that done in decades. What I have seen is representatives that work on one or two policies in the 8 years they are in office and they refused to engage and work with the people. They get into office and ignore the people. My 20 years in politics had always had a focus on addressing the concerns of the people. Most of the policies I worked on were concerns that people brought to my attention. I have always kept an open-door policy and will continue to do so after I’m elected to this office. I plan on doing town hall meetings regularly throughout the district when not in session. I will respond to event requests. I set a voting record when I ran for Attorney General in 2022, and I did that by working with people from all parties. I do not discriminate based on party affiliations. I had campaign managers in different areas of Nebraska from all four parties, which is something that is seldom done. If you are not biased in your approach to politics, then you can be a voice of reason and focus on what is important for your community.”
Some areas that I will be working on are:
This shortlist is something that many people had brought to my attention. I have started working on research analysis and proposals to implement solutions to these concerning problems. These will have significant positive impacts on our district.

If you are not biased in your approach to politics, then you can be a voice of reason and focus on what is important for your community.”
Some areas that I will be working on are:
- Improving wages for teachers and law enforcement. Review issues of inequality of pay that we see in business in rural Nebraska compared to larger cities and present a plan to address those issues. I will address some policies that have diverted public school funds to be used elsewhere which has created lower wages for school teachers.
- I would work on programs to assure kids don't go hungry. Making sure that there is a breakfast and lunch program at schools, as well as a summer meal plan. That would mean supporting and adding to the Farm Bill and collaborating with other organizations that utilize the Farm Bill.
- I would also work on a program, that I've been researching to decrease greenhouse gases, improve energy efficiency, and put more money into each district while decreasing everyone's gas and electric bill. The research shows that on average would decrease utilities by 60%.
- I would also like to see a rest stop at the junctions between Alliance and Bridgeport.
- Address the issue of injuries and deaths of children being run over by speed boats and jet skis at the Bridgeport Pits.
- I would also work on programs to help decrease drug addiction. The primary goal for District 47 is to support the detox center that is being proposed in the area. This could help with addiction problems in the region. This will also add to each city's diversion programs that will decrease drug-related criminal recidivism rates. Over the past decade, several clinics were shut down because of defunding by the Legislatures and County Boards. Because of that, we have a soaring drug addiction problem. The lack of diversion programs had increased the recidivism rates which has overpopulated our correctional facilities.
- Address the lack of mental health facilities.
- Build a new police facility in Alliance to help policing efforts that will help with training programs for the region and help each department's diversion program outreach. The Police Chief in Alliance received approval for several training programs and I’d like to see that progress. In my studies of Criminology, it shows that diversion programs have decreased recidivism rates by 60%. On average that reduces crime by 40%. Utilizing diversion programs will reduce correctional expenses. Within 2 years of implementing diversion programs in Alliance, it reduced crime by 20%. Adding a detox center should show another 20% reduction in crime and a 40% reduction in recidivism.
- End Truancy as a status offense. Utilizing diversion programs has reduced recidivism in children by 40% while utilizing our Juvenile Court system has been shown to increase other criminal activities that show advancing criminal activities into adulthood.
- Tackle farming, dairy, and ranching policies to improve free enterprise and help with direct, state-to-state, and international sales. This is something I worked on when I ran for Congress and resulted in some improvements in policies.
- In 2003 our government significantly reduced funds from our school system and put those funds into advancing correctional facilities making a pathway to a growing school-to-prison system. Today, we have the highest per capita prison overpopulation in the Nation. You shouldn’t have to fail for 20 years before you correct a wrong. Our school rankings were top in the world. Today, we fall below 17th. One of my goals is to right that wrong.
This shortlist is something that many people had brought to my attention. I have started working on research analysis and proposals to implement solutions to these concerning problems. These will have significant positive impacts on our district.

Recent satisfying public service activity:
- I volunteered with the Activate Alliance group and started a sub-group for a community bike share program. We were able to get nearly 70 bikes donated. $8200 was donated to the Activate program with $2200 allotted to the bike program. The Community Bike program was released in 2021. In 2023 The Active Alliance was recognized for their work at the Annual Chambers Banquet
- I had seen a need for more housing in a community and addressed some areas of housing that were in Historical areas. I also address that in those areas there are grants to help develop studio apartments. This led business owners in the downtown area to conduct multi-use properties and increase the needed housing.
- 2022 The Alliance Police Department received special recognition for the VIPS program that I volunteer for.
- During my time running for Congress in 2020, I saw an issue in meat processing during the pandemic. The meat processing centers were increasing the retail prices and decreasing the price that they were paying the Ranchers. I seen this error in policies where the state only allowed USDA packing inspectors. My suggestion was utilizing State inspectors and direct sells. In 2022, the state inspector program has been argued in Legislature and is bringing positive changes for sale opportunities for both Ranchers and Farmers.
- Served several years on the Alliance Planning Commission
- Ran for public office for City Council in 2006, 2008, and 2016
- Ran for the Legislature in 2012
- Ran for the House of Representatives in 2018 and 2020.
- Ran for Nebraska Attorney General in 2022.
- Presented and argued several bills at the local, state, and federal levels.
- Served on the committee for the Nebraska Unicameral.
- 2021 Chairman for LMN Party for Nebraska District 3
- My extended resume on my full experience in political activities would be in a 274-page book I wrote called “Politics: Last Act of Defiance.” Volume II should be out in 2023. Volume II covers my campaign for Attorney General and strategies for running for office. Volume III will cover lobbying policies.
Public services and community activities:
- City of Alliance Planning Commission/planning commissioner
- Volunteer/help raised funds for DAVA
- Volunteer/help raised funds for the Nebraska Boys Ranch
- Volunteer/help raised funds for the YMCA
- Poker run / I ran 2 poker runs to raise funds for ABATE
- Self-Defense Instructor
- pool league/team captain
- Volunteer on the Activate Alliance Initiative to create a bicycle share program for the city of Alliance.
- Gave free rental space for the BBC tower to allow internet access for the local government in Alliance, NE.
- Volunteer work: Volunteer In Police Services (VIPS). This organization helps the local law enforcement where needed voluntarily.
- Donated training materials for police officers and school teachers.
- Serve on the Building Committee for the Alliance Police Department.
Right To Repair:
I find it unconstitutional that Congress would pass a policy that would make it a Federal Crime for consumers to work on the equipment they buy. I will fight to restore your Consumer Rights.
- Importance: The importance of this policy is to support consumer rights. To allow them the right to work on their property or give them the right to allow a qualified person to do the work. www.youtube.com/watch?v=C7OU8Ta67H0
- Preview: I will go through some of the issues of the “Digital Millennium Copyright Act” and its impact and talk about how some corporations have overreached their authority in violation of consumer law. I’ll review some of the issues of the Error 53 programs, John Deers' “End User License Agreement,” and circumvention of technology.

Truancy
Juvenile Court vs. Social Service Mediation The Legislature is arguing bill LB568 which could end truancy as a status offense. It focuses more on root causes. It will utilize community programs to mediate those causes. The research that I have conducted proves that LB568 is the right choice. I do need help in contacting our state legislatures and encourage them to support LB568. Send them my research analysis to help persuade them to support the bill. |
