  Campaigns & Elections: Nebraska mudfest - 1994 political campaign of candidates Peter Hoagland and Jon Christensen   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
The Christensens' principal income source in 1993 was an annuity the candidate's wife - the former Meredith Stewart Maxfield - received from Stewart Title, her family's mega-business in Texas.
A lawyer who practices out of her home, Meredith Christensen has never tried to conceal the fact she is the source of the household's wealth: she recently lampooned the fact in a skit at Omaha's Gridiron Dinner.
Christensen manager Steve Thomlison points out, however, that his candidate put up only a small percentage of his campaign chest out of the family finances and raised a lot of money through persistent hard work.

 Government Relations Practice at Buchanan Ingersoll Continues to Expand: Firm Adds Former Nebraska Congressman Jon ...   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
Christensen's background includes being assigned to the Committee on Ways and Means as a freshman member of the House, an honor often reserved for more senior members of Congress.
Jon L. Christensen is counsel to Buchanan Ingersoll PC in the firm's Washington, D.C., office, where he is a member of the firm's Federal Government Relations Practice Group.
Jon was re-elected to the 105th Congress in 1996 and although he did not seek a third term, he has maintained strong relationships with members of his congressional class as well as 23 current governors.

 Bobo Stenson   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
Christensen and the pianist continued their creative association through the mid-1970s in the popular ]an Garbarek-Bobo Stenson Quartet (they swept the Jazz Forum poll year after year), whose recorded legacy is the albums Witchi-Tai-To and Dansere.
Jon Christensen was the drummer on the first of these, Anders Jormin the bassist on the other three.
Drummer Ion Christensen, as the busiest of ECM sessioneers and Stenson's drummer, off and on, for a quarter century, by now must qualify as the kind of player who "requires no further introduction".

 Christian soldier
Christensen, a freshman Republican from Omaha, launched his political career with a few moneyed backers, such as Omaha businessman David Sokol, and the support of an army of right-wing Christian activists.
Christensen is closely allied with the conservative activists at Omaha's Christian and Missionary Alliance-affiliated Christ Community Church.
Christensen has also been weakened by a messy and very public divorce, in which his wife, Meredith, stunned conservative voters in Omaha by admitting in court papers that she "engaged in marital infidelity" and was "unable to remain faithful."

 Readers talk back about poverty, population, and biodiesel | Grist Magazine | Letters | 26 Aug 2005
I was angered by Jon Christensen's assertion that conservationists and environmentalists are sitting on the sidelines while others are supposedly doing all the heavy lifting with regard to alleviating AIDS and poverty in the developing world.
Jon Christensen may be a distinguished research fellow, but his diatribe against progressive conservationists reads like an inconsistent freshman analysis.
Christensen even attacks Walter Reid for his perceived lack of concern for good governance campaigns, although Reid's Millennium Ecosystem Assessment is sponsored by the United Nations Foundation, a direct partner in the ONE Campaign to Make Poverty History.

 Cash on Hand   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
We asked the center to analyze the campaign finance reports for Jon Christensen and James Martin Davis, break down which special interests were taking a special interest in each candidate, something the center has done for nearly every federal race in the country.
For instance, Congressman Christensen received $6,500 to date from A.G. Processing and another 1,000 from Cargil, both companies with Nebraska interests who are in the forefront of turning corn into fuel, ethanol.
Christensen points with pride that most of his contributions are not from political action committees but from individuals.

 Lincoln Mayor Wins Nebraska Republican Gubernatorial Nomination - May 13, 1998
Johanns disputed the charges in the fliers and claimed he tried to remove the programs in question, one of which showed a man urinating, but could not because they are protected by federal law.
After the fliers were mailed, Hagel criticized Christensen's tactics, calling the fliers "trash" and a "gross distortion" and urged fellow Republicans to vote for Johanns.
Christensen stood by the fliers, saying they would "be a rallying cry for social conservatives."

 Dino Saluzzi, Jon Christensen - Senderos @ Soundbug
Drummer Christensen can be a very quiet presence (he does in fact sit out a few numbers), but that has been a hallmark of his playing as the resiliency of his pulses never waver, even at a whispered volume.
This was originally planned as a solo session, but ECM head honcho Manfred Eicher made a call to drummer Jon Christensen, inviting him to sit in on a few tracks, & in the end the musicians & producer liked the results so much that most of the album is duets.
Christensen plays sparsely but very dramatically--silences & rustles broken by big abrupt blobs of sound.

 Log Cabin Condemns Christensen Campaing in Nebraska   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
Tafel singled out Christensen's recent comments where he was quoted as saying that he would never hire a gay or lesbian person to work for him as Governor, and the strong endorsement received by anti-gay leader James Dobson of Focus on the Family.
"Jon Christensen not only endorsed discrimination, he promised to practice blatant discrimination against people in his own office by dismissing a person's merit and focusing on their sexual orientation," Tafel said.
Christensen's hard-right turn in the final days of the campaign drew angry denunciations from most of the state's top GOP officials.

Jon Agnone, a Ph.D. candidate in sociology at the University of Washington, analyzed the relationship between environmental legislation passed between 1960 and 1994 and such factors as protests, public opinion, lobbying, and which parties controlled Congress and the White House.
In the end the Environmental Protection Agency concluded that due to all of the uncertainty in the studies there was no acceptable test for measuring hormone disruption so it could not be considered sound science to restrict the use of atrazine.

 ECM's New :Rarums, Part 2: The Drummers   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
Jon Christensen, unique here because he has not recorded as a leader, has nestled more into the niche of European chamber jazz, though he's made his own excursions into more experimental settings as well.
Unique among these drummers is Jon Christensen, who lacks a single ECM record as leader.
You get the feeling that Christensen is most comfortable in a relatively restrained setting where he can still pull against the yoke, carry on subtle and refined conversations, and avoid hitting his instruments too hard.
