LINCOLN — The next election for Nebraska governor is three years away, but already some potential candidates are dipping their toes in the political waters.

State Sen. Brett Lindstrom of Omaha, a 38-year-old Republican, said he’s begun talking to people about a run after being urged to consider it following the 2019 state legislative session. “I’m taking a hard look at it,” said Lindstrom, a financial adviser and former Nebraska football player. “It seems early, but Nebraska is a big state to cover.”

One Democrat, former State Sen. Bob Krist of Omaha, said he’s also decided to run again after being defeated for governor in 2018 by Pete Ricketts, who, because of term limits, can’t run again in 2022.
