(KLZA)-- First District State Senator Julie Slama was in Falls City Tuesday along with Governor Pete Ricketts.

Slama who is wrapping up her first year in the legislature after being appointed by Governor Pete Ricketts, is now seeking election to the legislative seat. Slama told the audience gathered at the Elk's Lodge that she wants to help build a bright future for Nebraska, noting her desire to raiser her children here and that her grandchildren be raised here.

Slama, an Auburn High School Graduate who grew up just outside of Peru says her main focus to make the future better is to help pass legislation with meaningful, long term property tax relief and to make sure that our rural schools have the necessary resources to provide every kid in the state a solid education. She said educational opportunities for kids raised in the rural area should be the same as those for kids growing up in Lincoln and Omaha.

Slama is being challenged in the Republican primary by Dennis Schaardt from Table Rock and Janet Palmtag from Syracuse.
