Coleen Seng
Coleen Seng (born February 8, 1936 in Council Bluffs, Iowa) was the 50th mayor of Lincoln, Nebraska. She served as mayor from May 19, 2003 to May 19, 2007. She is best known for seeking payment for $32,000 worth of security expenses, incurred during the 2004 fundraising visit of Dick Cheney.
== Political career ==
Seng was elected in 2003, beating Republican city councilman Glenn Friendt. Seng received fewer votes than Friendt in the April primary, but due to a strong field campaign rebounded and beat him in the May general election. During her term she had blocked a construction of a Walmart, focused on fixing the main streets, saw the passage of a public smoking ban and proposed a ban on concealed weapons. She was a member of the Mayors Against Illegal Guns Coalition, a bi-partisan group with a stated goal of "making the public safer by getting illegal guns off the streets." The Coalition is co-chaired by Boston Mayor Thomas Menino and New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg.
On July 26, 2006 the city council killed a proposal (06-107) submitted by Seng to ban concealed guns within the city limits of Lincoln. At a future council meeting she intends to propose a prohibition for concealed Right-to-Carry for Nebraska permit holders by reclassifying certain types of offenses within the city limits.
On September 7, 2006, Seng announced that she would not run for re-election. State Senator Chris Beutler, who left the Legislature because of term limits, was the only candidate for the Democratic primary. Republican city councilman, Ken Svoboda, announced his candidacy on September 27, 2006.
