Bahensky, Havelka elected CD3 leaders

Howard County Chair, Marion Bahensky, and Platte County Chair, Tom Havelka, were elected to the positions of Chair and Associate Chair by the 3rd CD Caucus at the Nebraska Democratic Party State Central Committee meeting in Omaha on Saturday, Oct. 3rd. The two replace Lisa Hannah and Brian Osborn at the helm of the 3rd CD Organization. Hannah and Osborn resigned from their positions during the CD3 Caucus at the past NDP SCC meeting, held in June, in a deal brokered by NDP State Chair, Vic Covalt.
According to the CDO3 Bylaws, accepted at the CDO3 meeting in McCook last June, Bahensky and Havelka will share the duties of leading the 3rd CD Organization with equal authority. Ms. Bahensky, currently also the Treasurer of the CDO3, has indicated that she intends to continue to hold the office of CDO3 Treasurer until her replacement is elected at the next CDO3 meeting, to be held in Valentine in 2010.
