OMAHA — Charles Herbster has continued largely self-funding his bid for the Republican governor’s nomination in Nebraska, giving his campaign $4.2 million in the first quarter of 2022. Individual donors and groups gave him $113,000 over the same span.

Of the $9.2 million in Herbster's campaign funds, $8.9 million of the total had been personally funded as of April 5. A combined $313,000 came from individual donors and groups.

University of Nebraska Regent Jim Pillen had raised nearly $2.4 million from individuals and groups in the first quarter of 2022. By April 5, he had raised a total of $7.7 million with only $1 million being personally funded.

State Sen. Brett Lindstrom reportedly raised $420,000 in the first quarter of 2022 which pushed him over the $2 million mark in early April.

Former State Sen. Theresa Thibodeau raised $159,000 in the first quarter and personally contributed another $10,000. This put her at a combined total of $287,000 by April 5.

The most well-known Democrat in the governor's race, State Sen. Carol Blood, raised $50,000 in the first quarter of 2022 and totaled $124,000. In light of her campaign funds, she has a relatively easy primary race as a Democrat.
