A Nebraskan with True Grit
A True Servant Leader
Priorities in Representing All Nebraskans

My name is Marvin "Butch" Hughes, I'm running for the Legislature 33rd, District. I was raised on a farm 5 miles north of Maywood, NE(Lincoln County) by Leona and Earl Hughes, 3rd. generation Nebraska farmers. I attended and graduated from Maywood High School in 1964, then went on to the University of Nebraska where I earned a Bachelor of Science Degree in Food Service and Technology in 1969. While attending college I lived at Farmhouse Fraternity a scholastic and social fraternity located south of the ag campus where I was a maintenance manager and treasurer.

2006....Riding our horse "Cowgirls Silver Hart" on our acreage southeast of Hastings, Ne.

Upon receiving my B.S. Degree in Food Technology I was commissioned as an officer in the U.S. Marine Corp, eventually becoming an artillery officer and serving in combat near DaNang, Vietnam. After release from active duty I spent several years in the reserves while farming near Paxton, NE and starting my construction business. In late 1999 I moved to rural Hastings, NE and married Bernadine Pavelka in June 2000. We have 5 children between us.............. Bridget Harrington (Grand Island, NE), Babbette Board (Smithville, MO.) Stacey Weller (SanAntonio,TX), Jackie Hughes (Salida, CO) and Thomas Hughes (Greenville, NC) we also have 5 grandchildren.

From 2001-2006 I worked at the AGP Ethanol Plant east of Hastings, NE as a material handler and boiler operator, while doing some construction (part-time). In 2000 I joined the St. Pauls Lutheran Church west of Glenvil, NE. Since 2001 I have been attending education/training for the Lutheran Parish Ministry Associate Program and I was on St. Paul's Church Council from 2002-2008. I'm an active member of Adams County Military Honor Guard, Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 1346, American Legion Post 11, and Hastings Eagles Aerie 592.

My purpose for being a legislative candidate is to help Nebraska restore its attractiveness for young farmers , ranchers and new and existing business's while being good earthly and economic stewards.

1964...4th Generation Ne Farmer. Farming at home in Maywood NE with a 1953 Case tractor, I've still got the tractor!

Here on my web site I have expanded in some detail the issues of immigration, water, state spending, jobs health, education, tax revenue and prisons. This should give each reader some insight on ways of improving our state. With certainty there will be some variance of opinion about these solutions. However, you'll find this legislative candidate is sincere and devoted to representing all the 33rd. District and not just a few lobbyists. I do not know all the answers, but with your input and the help of God, we'll get Nebraska back on track Therefore to make your vote really count, a vote for Marvin "Butch" Hughes on May 13 will help our 33rd, District and the State of
Nebraska!

Respectfully,
