LINCOLN- State Senator Suzanne Geist has recently received calls for her to enter the 2023 race for Mayor of Lincoln. Geist still has two years remaining in her second term in the legislature and said she is not sure of the direction she wants to take.

Geist, a Republican, noted the decision is difficult and has other priorities that play a role, for example, her nine grandchildren who all reside in Lincoln.

With two years remaining before she would be term-limited out of the Legislature, Geist said she does not plan to seek the chairmanship of the Legislature's Judiciary Committee when the 2023 Legislature convenes in January and makes its organizational and leadership decisions.

Geist said she values her independence in Nebraska's uniquely nonpartisan Legislature. She also did note that her party is sometimes not thrilled with a couple of the votes she has previously taken.

Geist said she has talked with Republican gubernatorial nominee Jim Pillen and "I think he is open" to considering her perspective if he is elected in November.
