DAVID CITY- Alan Zavodny, the former mayor of David City, announced his intentions to enter the race for the Legislative District 23 seat, which will be vacant this year as Sen. Bruce Bostelman faces term limits. District 23 encompasses Saunders and Colfax Counties, as well as a portion of Bulter County. Zavodny is a lifelong farmer and serves currently as the CEO of a service provider for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

With over a year until the next election, the registered Republican has already received an endorsement from U.S. Sen. Deb Fischer. Zavodny served previously as mayor of David City for 12 years, during which he renovated the entirety of downtown David City, rebuilt the drainage system, and improved infrastructure. Zavodny said that, by the end of his tenure, he had built an impressive track record of controversial decisions, including when he chose to institute a mask mandate for David City in 2020, which he said protected the most vulnerable of people in the community of 2,900.

"I've learned a lot of lessons from a lifetime of working on a farm and as mayor of David City," said Zavodny, "not the least of which is that--with some of the most burdensome property taxes in the nations--our tax policies are killing our family farms, ranches, and small businesses." Zavodny indicated that, if elected, he would work to protect local agricultural practices from burdensome regulations, lower taxes for Nebraska families, and help rural communities attract more workers. Sen. Deb Fischer, after giving her endorsement to Zavodny, said the former mayor "will stand for our shared conservative Nebraska values."
