Abbott, a Republican, said the primary did not involve
issues and was nainly a qualifications race. She said serv
ing on the Omaha City Council for 12 years helped her
"tremendously." Abbott said she also stressed her exper
ience on various state and federal commissions. .
Serving 16 years on the City Council also helped him in
the primary, Veys said. He added that he stressed his
business experience and using it to run an efficient city
government.
Veys said he spent $15,000 in the primary, mostly on
radio, television, newspapers and some flyers. lie said he
follows a rule of thumb not to spend more than the
office's first year sdary.

to $40,000 she plans to spend on the total campaign. She

primary planning for their new campaigns. Both declined
to comment on specific strategies they might use in the
upcoming campaign.

out "precise proposals for the first two years of her
mayorship." She said she thought the upcoming cam
