LINCOLN- This week, Lt. Col. John Glen Weaver announced that he will make a bid to represent Nebraska in the United States Senate. Weaver is a decorated veteran who has served 22 years in the United States Air Force, serving numerous tours in both Afghanistan and Iraq.

Weaver was one of nine candidates selected for an interview with Gov. Jim Pillen regarding the Senate seat vacated by Ben Sasse, who resigned to become the next president of the University of Florida. The appointment ultimately went to outgoing governor Pete Ricketts. Weaver had also ran in the 1st District special election that Rep. Mike Flood ultimately won.

“Nebraska and our nation face many challenges -- inflation, immigration, and incarceration are recklessly out of control,” Weaver said in a statement. “Today’s problems must be solved by a conservative combat leader and courageous leader like myself who is willing to put service to America and its people above all. Nebraska needs a Senator that represents the people.”
