The Nebraska Federation of College Republicans will hold voter registration drives at two Nebraska college campuses.
The group says its “Our Moment; Our Future” campaign is aimed at turning out the youth vote and will focus efforts at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln and Creighton University in Omaha.
The campaign includes call nights and efforts to register students to vote, as well as a social media ad buy featuring the group’s new online ad, which will begin in October and run through the election.
Federation chairman Andrew LaGrone cites Washington’s “outright failure” to address the issues facing his generation, including high unemployment for people 18- to 24-year-old and growing national debt, as the reasons behind the effort.
