OMAHA- Former State Senator Theresa Thibodeau, announced that she would be stepping aside as Charles Herbster's running mate in the gubernatorial race due to what she described as "potential opportunities that would conflict with the campaign."

“At this time, I do not feel I will be able to devote the needed time to the campaign," Thibodeau said in a press release. "In fairness to Charles and his wonderful team, I want to thank them for their support, and wish them the best for a successful election. I look forward to the continuation of conservative leadership in Nebraska.”

“I greatly respect Theresa’s decision as well as her devotion to her community," Herbster said in the same press release. "She is a great steward of conservative values, and I look forward to working with her in the future.”

Neither of Herbster's leading Republican primary opponents, University of Nebraska Regent Jim Pillen or State Sen. Brett Lindstrom, have named running mates at this point.
