Nebraskans for the Death Penalty is planning a “Repeal the Repeal” campaign.
Group co-Founder Bob Evnen says they’re putting together a coalition of groups and people who believe the state needs to execute those who commit serious crimes.

The legislature repealed the death penalty last year, and the group Retain a Just Nebraska is fighting to keep that from being overturned in November’s election.

Enven says the legislature was wrong to end executions last year.

A question on the General Election ballot will ask voters to bring back the death penalty or keep it repealed.
