(KLZA)-- Syracuse attorney Bob Hallstrom announced earlier this month, his candidacy to represent Nebraska's First Legislative District which includes Richardson, Pawnee, Nemaha, Johnson and Otoe counties.

During a campaign meet and greet in Falls City last week Hallstrom said he wants to be a strong conservative voice for the people of the 1st District with a lot of experience in and around the Legislature.

Hallstrom says he is pro-life and a supporter of the 2nd Amendment.

Hallstrom, a partner with the Brandt, Horan, Hallstrom& Stilmock law firm in Syracuse, says that his experience working with workforce development, rural workforce housing, access t healthcare issues and mainstreet business issues should all help him hit the ground running if elected.
