Shoutout to KMTV 3 News Now for featuring me in tonight’s segment about the record number of women running for office.

I am very proud to have received the endorsement of Moms Demand Action. Solutions to address gun violence in our communities have not moved because for too long, the gun lobby has made it uncomfortable for lawmakers to talk about gun safety or oppose their dangerous agenda. They want us to believe that gun violence is normal and that there's nothing we can do to change that. And they've made talking about guns a culturally divisive topic, despite the fact that most gun owners support gun violence prevention policies. But we know the truth: The legislators we've elected have not only the power, but the urgent obligation to set aside the rhetoric pandering to the extreme wings of their parties and take the first step toward a more moderate national gun policy. In the Nebraska Legislature, I will be a leader in addressing this topic and keeping our kids safe. ​

New York, NY – LEAP Forward proudly endorses Megan Hunt for Nebraska’s 8th Legislative District. LEAP Forward is a pro-gun reform, non-partisan organization that rates lawmakers and candidates on their work toward gun safety and regulation on firearms.

"Determined to meet every voter in her district, volunteers join Hunt as she knocks on doors. 'With a strong group of volunteers, I can contact a thousand voters in a day at the doors and on follow-up phone calls,' she said."

I was so grateful to be featured in this short news piece on KMTV, Channel 3 about millennials getting involved in local politics along with Alejandra Escobar, the leader of Young Nebraskans in Action at the Heartland Workers Center.

I'm in the Washington Post​ today, where I was interviewed for a story about what unites us as Americans. When I feel the frustration of political division, I remember that we are a young country, and that we are bound as Americans--simply through our presence in this country--by our shared sense of exploration, innovation, and courage.

Megan Hunt, 31, of Omaha, Neb., is co-founder of a clothing company and a single mom. A sixth-generation Nebraskan, she’s running for state Senate. “We have the highest population of refugees in the entire country. I have to do everything in my power to make sure the state is a place where they can put down roots, where they can say, ‘I’m an American, I’m accepted by my community, I belong here. And I contribute here.’ ”

"AMBITIOUS AND LASER-FOCUSED, MEGAN HUNT, 1/2 OF HELLO HOLIDAY, CURRENT CANDIDATE FOR STATE LEGISLATURE AND MUCH IN BETWEEN, IS DEFINITELY BOTH A DREAMER AND DOER. DETERMINED TO MAKE A STATEMENT FOR ALL FASHIONABLE, QUIRKY, FREE-LOVING WOMEN AROUND HER AS WELL AS FIGHTING FOR WHAT SHE BELIEVES IN WHERE SHE RESIDES - MEGAN IS MAKING HER MARK IN SEVERAL WAYS. GET INTO THEM."
