She was joined by Beckius the first out gay man to serve as council chair but I think this is an incredibly diverse field,” Washington said “I can’t remember a time where we’ve ever had this many people of color running for Lincoln City Council ever.” Washington is retired after a long career in the National Parks Service. She served on the Lincoln Parks and Recreation Advisory board then as a Lincoln-Lancaster County Planning Commissioner before her appointment to the City Council in 2019 Washington is currently the only woman serving on the Council “It's made a difference in my understanding what it feels like to be marginalized but it doesn't change the policies that I am advocating for,” Washington said affordable housing doesn't have a race or a gender attached to it infrastructure does not have race or gender attached to it.” According to GoodParty, political diversity is beneficial for promoting policies that include all groups of residents especially those from historically marginalized groups Seeing diversity in political leadership may also help dismantle harmful stereotypes and encourage more civic engagement However, the City Council doesn’t have a lot of sway when it comes to policies on race, gender and sexual orientation. In 2022, the Council passed the “Fairness Ordinance,” which aimed to prevent discrimination in housing, public services and employment, but rescinded it shortly after it passed. While Washington is glad to see diverse candidates involved she said she and the other candidates are simply running to serve their city “When a former council person who served 24 years ago comes back and says ‘I want to serve again,’ I don't think it has anything to do with his color,” Washington said ‘I'm ready to come back and do some more work.’” Washington is talking about fellow candidate Jerry Shoecraft, who served on the council from 1993-2001. Though he was a Democrat then, Shoecraft is now running as a Republican. Shoecraft said it’s wonderful to see the diverse group of candidates “It's an honor and a privilege to want to serve for public office,” Shoecraft said “I commend anyone who wants to have a voice and be a leader of this community and everybody deserves to have a seat at the table.” Shoecraft played basketball for the University of Nebraska-Lincoln and now manages properties around the city His main goals are optimizing traffic flow and promoting fiscal responsibility Maher Aurang Zeb is running as a Republican and has similar priorities along with advancing affordable housing initiatives Zeb is an immigrant from Pakistan who has lived in Lincoln since 2003 Zeb runs a painting company and flips houses He says an immigrant’s perspective is needed on the Council since Lincoln has a large immigrant community “Even white folks came here as immigrants,” Zeb said Other candidates in the race are incumbent Democrats Tom Beckius and Bennie Shobe, along with Republican Stan Parker. The Lincoln City Council currently is a bit more diverse than other elected bodies in the state with two Black members – Washington and Shobe – out of seven total around 16% of Nebraska’s senators are non-white Nebraska’s total population is about a quarter non-white while the population of Lancaster County is about 21% non-white In January, Pew Research Center reported that 26% of the voting members currently in U.S. Congress identified as something other than non-Hispanic white.

They suffered a narrow 3-2 defeat at Stockport last weekend but face no fresh injury concerns, although season-ending absences for Dom Jeffries and Jovon Makama remain. Manager Mark Skubala is expected to field a similar squad to recent matches as Lincoln aims to finish the campaign on a high. Wrexham arrive in good spirits after clinching promotion with a 3-0 win over Charlton and hold a five-point lead in second place. However, they continue to be hampered by injuries to key players, including Mo Faal, Andy Cannon, Luke Bolton, and Will Boyle, all sidelined for the foreseeable future. Star striker Paul Mullin, out since January due to a persistent knee injury and limited playing time, may be given a rare farewell appearance in what could be his final match for the club. With promotion secured, manager Phil Parkinson might rotate the squad, but Wrexham remain a potent attacking force looking to end their League One campaign with a positive result. Ryan Longman's goal against Lincoln City was his first for Wrexham Wrexham kept the promotion celebrations going as they signed off from League One with a comfortable and clinical win at Lincoln City Elliot Lee and Ryan Longman's second-half goals earned a 27th victory of a campaign that sees them return to the second tier for the first time in 43 years It took Phil Parkinson's side onto 92 points ending the midtable Imps' unbeaten run at home that had stretched back to February Michael Skubala's Lincoln finished 11th in the final table 15 points ahead of the relegation places and 17 points off the play-offs runners up behind title-winners Birmingham City again underlined why they will be playing Championship football next season after an unprecedented third straight promotion as they made the most of the chances they forged Providing the quality when it mattered and staying strong defensively when needed has been key for Parkinson's team who will now be playing second-tier football in three months' time – two years on from being in non-league It was fitting that it was Lee who opened the scoring too; the only change from last week's promotion-sealing win over Charlton Athletic the midfielder was among those who had been in the side that had earned that first step out of the National League Wrexham were – understandably – below par to begin with with Lincoln perhaps frustrated they failed to make more of their opponent's off-key start The first-half drabness was in contrast to the final day colour provided by supporters certainly among the travelling Wrexham fans In a fancy-dress farewell to the third tier clowns and – of course – Deadpool all made the most of the occasion Wrexham had been forced to say farewell to the Football League in their final match before relegation to non-league Times are different now and it is why supporters were keen to make the most of the moment before the celebrations there was time for remembrance and reflection with fans of both sides staying solemnly silent as respects were paid 40 years on from the Bradford City fire disaster Lincoln had been the opponents on that tragic day at Valley Parade with two Imps fans – Bill Stacey and Jim West – among the 56 who died Mr Stacey's family and Lincoln captain Paudie O'Connor laid a wreath in front of the Stacey West Stand it was Lincoln who enjoyed the better of the opening 45 minutes If not for some sharp reactions from Wrexham goalkeeper Arthur Okonkwo Skubala's side could have easily taken a lead into the break with both James Gardner and Reeco Hackett threatening But Wrexham emerged from the interval far more like their promotion-winning selves with their rediscovered energy rewarded 53 minutes in as Lee powered a header home from Longman's cross from the right It was a sweeping move from Wrexham for the breakthrough and it was another impressive passing combination that provided the second with Longman this time finishing after being played in by James McClean Lincoln substitute Jack Moylan was denied at the near post by Okonkwo as the Imps tried to dampen the party atmosphere But Wrexham kept their clean sheet to continue the celebrations to end an historic season for the north Wales club Wrexham manager Phil Parkinson told BBC Sport Wales: "We wanted to finish in a professional manner and we spoke to the lads about that "The perception of the group celebrations last week and the lads jetting out to Vegas this week – but in between that we wanted to finish the season well I'm really pleased with that and I'm also delighted with 26 points from the last 11 away games – that's an outstanding return at any level of football the wind was probably stronger than people realised and we didn't quite get the control we wanted Lincoln City head coach Michael Skubala told BBC Radio Lincolnshire: "I honestly thought we were so good first half – we did everything but score You saw a team that wanted to take it to Wrexham "But you always know against Wrexham that if you don't score they stick it out and they win 1-0 which is put it in the box and score to make it 1-0 and then it becomes a really tough afternoon "Not where we wanted to finish this season but I'm really proud of the lads and really proud of what they've been doing."
