Jacob Campbell won in a six-candidate primary by 650 votes. He is 29 years old, has been a child-abuse investigator and was recently a legislative staff member. If elected, he plans to work on education and tax reform. He says, "We need a new school funding formula that delivers dollars where they are needed." Eliot Bostar is the executive director for Conservation Nebraska and Nebraska Conservation Voters. He finished second in the heavily contested primary race where Democrats won 58% of the total vote. He plans to focus on health care, the environment and education if elected to the legislature.

Sen. Kate Bolz, the representative for this district has reached her term limit and is now the Democratic nominee for the 1st District House seat.
