District 43 Legislative Candidate receives endorsements from Nebraska U.S. Senators and neighboring District 42 Senator Mike Jacobson
NORTH PLATTE, Neb. (KNOP) – Tanya Storer has announced her candidacy for the Nebraska Legislature. Storer aims to represent the 43rd Legislative District currently represented by term-limited Senator Tom Brewer.
Storer launched her campaign with support from both Nebraska U.S. Senators Deb Fischer and Pete Ricketts along with Nebraska U.S. Congressman Mike Flood and neighboring District 42 Senator Mike Jacobson.
“I’m running for the legislature because I believe District 43 needs a principled, conservative voice in Lincoln,” said Storer. “I am committed to reducing the tax burden on our farmers, ranchers, businesses, and families and on continuing to develop economic opportunities that can bring our kids and our grandkids, back to our communities. My husband and I have built our life here, raised our family here, and served our communities here and we understand how important it is to have a committed conservative fighting for us.”
Tanya and her husband Eric share the day-to-day running of their cattle operation in the heart of Cherry County. She served as a Cherry County Commissioner for 8 years and has served as vice-chairman of the Nebraska Brand Committee, chair of the Niobrara Council, as well as serving on the Blueprint Nebraska Board, the Nebraska DOT Innovation Task Force, the UNMC Advisory Board, and the Region 4 Behavioral Health Board. Tanya and Eric have three grown children, Braden, Hailey, and Emmet.
“Tanya is committed to our shared conservative values, and I’m thrilled to support her in her run for Legislature,” said Senator Ricketts. “I know she will fight for real tax relief and work to expand economic opportunities and improve infrastructure throughout Nebraska. She will be a tireless voice for rural Nebraska values, and I look forward to seeing her serve the people of District 43 in Lincoln.”
The 43rd Legislative District consists of Blaine, Boyd, Brown, Cherry, Custer, Dawes, Garfield, Keya Paha, Loup, Rock, and Sheridan counties.

NioCorp to start work on its minerals mine in southeast Nebraska
NioCorp announced Monday that it plans to start work on its critical minerals mine in southeast Nebraska.
The project, which the company is calling its mine portal project, will involve building a main entrance to the Elk Creek underground mine and will serve as the primary access point for personnel, equipment, and materials for the underground mining operations. It also will include excavating bedrock, drilling and blasting to establish the twin mine ramps, on-site access road construction, and construction of on-site supporting infrastructure.
The project, which will cost nearly $45 million, is set to get underway before the end of the month. It marks the first time Colorado-based NioCorp will actually start any significant work on the main mine, from which the company hopes to extract niobium, scandium, titanium and other minerals.
“Given the size of this excavation work, the portal project really marks the beginning of a major pre-construction activity at the Elk Creek Project site and is an important step toward preparing for underground development,” Scott Honan, the company’s president and chief operating officer, said in a release.
Mark A. Smith, Niocorp’s chairman and CEO, called the project, “a significant milestone.”
Niocorp has spent more than 15 years trying to develop the mine on land in Johnson County, about 65 miles southeast of Lincoln.
The company still needs to raise a significant amount of money to make the $1.2 billion mine a reality, though. In December, NioCorp said it had raised about $360 million, or a little more than a quarter of the total cost. It is still waiting for approval of a $780 million debt financing application from the Export-Import Bank of the United States.
