LINCOLN - Norfolk real estate agent Robert Dover was appointed Friday by Gov. Pete Ricketts to fill the District 19 seat in the Legislature vacated by the election of Mike Flood to the U.S. House of Representatives.

Dover is the president of Coldwell Banker Dover Realtors in Norfolk and has previously served as chairman of the Madison County Republicans.

Ricketts introduced him at a brief event Friday, July 22 where he was sworn in by Secretary of State Robert Evnen.

Upon his swearing-in, the event ended somewhat abruptly without giving members of the media to ask the new senator any questions.

This comes in stark contrast to the event last month when Ricketts appointed and introduced Sen. Kathleen Kauth of Omaha to fill the District 31 seat vacated by the death of Sen. Rich Pahls.
