OMAHA- Add one more to the field of possible candidates planning to run for Governor of Nebraska.

Earlier this year, Theresa Thibodeau was introduced as the running mate for gubernatorial candidate Charles Herbster, who announced his candidacy in April. But she stepped out in July, saying she didn’t have enough time for the campaign and had other issues to deal with.

“I have managed that and those are taken care of and finished; and at the same time, I have since then sold my business as well, and now I do have the time,” she told 6 News.

Now, she’s thinking about running for governor.

Thibodeau is no stranger to politics: Appointed to the state legislature by Gov. Pete Ricketts, she was also the chairwoman of the Douglas County GOP.

Thibodeau said she believe there are urgent issues that the next governor will have to deal with, like education: She said she thinks parents want to have a say on what their children are being taught in school, from critical race theory and health standards, or sex education.

She said she’s also concerned about illegal immigration and how it affects Nebraska, but her top priority is tax relief.

“The majority of Nebraskans want to see some actual tax reform as well as looking at our cost and where we can manage those expenditures as well,” she said.

“Other announced candidates include Regent Jim Pillen, businessman Charles Herbster, and State Senator Brett Lindstrom. Former Governor Dave Heineman is also exploring a run for his previous post”
