LINCOLN- Four candidates have announced plans recently to run for the Nebraska Legislature, including one taking on a newly appointed senator in east Lincoln. Nicki Behmer Popp is running for the District 25 seat now held by State Sen. Carolyn Bosn of Lincoln, who was appointed in April to finish out former Sen. Suzanne Geist’s term. Bosn, a Republican, has said she would run to keep the seat when it came open in 2024. Popp is registered as nonpartisan and currently serves on the Lincoln Airport Authority.

In District 23, Dennis Fujan, a farmer from Prague, and Jared Storm, a small-business owner and pilot from David City, are seeking the seat held by Sen. Bruce Bostelman of Brainard, who is term-limited. The district encompasses Saunders, Colfax and part of Butler Counties. Both Fujan and Storm are registered Republicans. Fujan is a farmer and veteran. Storm manufactures aircraft and provides aerial application services to farmers.

Also running in District 23 is Jacob Wolff. Wolff currently does not live in the district and is working to move to be eligible. The State Constitution requires a candidate to reside in a legislative district at least one year before they are elected. Wolff, a graduate of Omaha Roncalli High School, just completed a five-year stint as an officer in the Navy Civil Engineer Corps. He is currently registered as nonpartisan but intends to change his party affiliation to Republican.
