LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) – Former Omaha Sen. Ernie Chambers, the self- proclaimed “defender of the downtrodden,” wants to come back to the Legislature. Chambers confirmed Wednesday that he will run again for the north Omaha district he represented for 38 years. The 74-year-old left office in 2008 because of new term limits, but is eligible to run again in the 2012 election. Chambers says lobbyists, the governor and the attorney general have “run roughshod” over the Legislature with a right-wing agenda. Chambers, who was legendary for his procedural knowledge and ability to delay bills, says too much legislation is passing without serious debate.
