But wait, there's more! journalstar.com/news/local/g...

As Ben Houchin campaigns to become Lancaster County sheriff, his ex-wife is publicly accusing the longtime law enforcement officer of physical and emotional abuse during their relationship — allegations Houchin denies.

In a sworn statement detailing a series of incidents from 2018 to 2021, Maureen Brase-Houchin said the chief deputy sheriff squeezed her neck in a way that made her uncomfortable, made a comment about her disappearing, and forced his way through locked doors during an argument. Brase-Houchin said her ex-husband also intimidated her by firing a gun into a nearby creek bed after yelling at her and two of the couple's children.

Houchin has denied the allegations.

“I shouldn’t have to be scared of someone being sheriff,” Brase-Houchin told the Journal Star this month. “I don’t care if he’s my past husband. It doesn’t matter. Whoever is leading in law enforcement, there shouldn't be anyone who is terrified of them, or has been terrified or has had them squeeze their neck or break down their door in rage.”

Houchin alleges Brase-Houchin was physically abusive, including scratching and punching him.

Marriage, career and campaign
Houchin started dating Brase-Houchin in 1990 when they were students at Nebraska Wesleyan University and they married in 1993. In a November 2021 statement for their divorce, he said he never threatened to hurt Brase-Houchin, never mentally abused her and never physically hurt her in any way.

Brase-Houchin has alleged in sworn statements that Houchin had been abusive since the very beginning of their relationship.

I want to apologize for remarks I made a few years ago suggesting I believe every human is entitled to respect and dignity in addition to basic human rights. I had no way of knowing at the time this sentiment could be interpreted as applying to people of a gendered persuasion

sorry, but torturing the omelas kid is just a smart move, polling-wise. i personally wish there wasn't a kid in the omelas hole--of course i do!--but let's not get distracted by purity tests, here.

I know there are multiple factors, but I do feel the death of mass market paperbacks did its share of damage to literacy. Publishing decided ebooks had replaced MMPBs, but though ebooks are easily accessed, they aren't as affordable, and they aren't showing face in supermarkets, drug stores, etc.

Not to be annoying (also not very important), but Examiner covered voter data extensively from start to finish. It underscores the need for the Examiner. It's good to have an outlet that doesn't focus on clicks and asks the right questions,/look at things before they become headline news.
