LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) _ Just eight months after Republican U.S. Sen. Chuck Hagel announced he would not seek re-election, voters are deciding Tuesday which candidates will compete for his seat in the November election. Tony Raimondo and Scott Kleeb are the favorites to emerge in the Democratic race, which also includes Larry Marvin of Fremont and James Bryan Wilson of Lincoln. Republican Mike Johanns, the former U.S. agriculture secretary and Nebraska governor, is far better-known and better-funded than his primary opponent, 49-year-old Schuyler businessman Pat Flynn. Steve Larrick is the Green Party candidate, and Kelly Renee Rosberg is the Nebraska Party candidate. ___ On the Net: Pat Flynn for Senate: http://www.flynn2008.com Mike Johanns for Senate: http://www.mikejohanns2008.com Tony Raimondo campaign: http://www.raimondo2008.com Scott Kleeb: http://www.scottkleeb.com
