My name is Jeremiah Ellison. I'm a 29 year old resident of Grand Island, Nebraska. I have worked at J.C. Doyle Ltd. in Grand Island for 4 years as a computer programmer. I am married, with 1 child and 1 on the way.
I am very concerned about the future of our great country.
On March 3rd, 2008, I filed as a Republican candidate to the House of Representatives for the 3rd district in Nebraska. I am challenging Adrian Smith, the incumbent. The primary election will be held on May 13th, 2008.
Without challenge, democracy fails. Without choice, the people cannot speak. Without contest, our leaders may grow complacent. And without action, we jeopardize our future.
I work a full-time job and I'm running this campaign in my spare time, without the help of anyone but family. If you wish to join my campaign, you can write to me at
and tell me what you can do.
I joined the Republican party when I came of age to vote. I have always been a Republican. My parents were Republicans, my brother is a Republican, and my sisters are Republicans. I've always voted Republican.
I am a Republican because of the issues. I am not a Republican because I like the brand name or the gang.
A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until a majority of voters discover that they can vote themselves largess out of the public treasury. -- Alexander Tytler
Although widely rumored to be unsinkable, the Titanic was not spared.
Although I did not win the primary election, my campaign continues. I am dedicated to the cause, and cannot rest until I'm assured that my children will have the opportunity to enjoy a bright future in this country. I will be redesigning my website soon and moving to jeremiahellison.com, where I will continue to write my opinions about current issues and build up my campaign for 2010.
