LINCOLN- Former Sen. Suzanne Geist, who most recently dropped out of the Legislature to challenge Lincoln Mayor Leirion Gaylor Baird, will now join Nebraska Attorney General Mike Hilger's office as a chief advisor. Although Geist is not an attorney herself, she had worked previously with Hilgers while serving in the Legislature.

According to a press release, Geist will advise Hilgers on policy, as well as oversee various priorities the office holds. Hilgers described Geist as "a trusted colleague and friend," and lauded her for her previous work in criminal justice, sentencing, and relationship with law enforcement personnel.

In the same press release, Hilgers also named Joshua Shasserre as the AG's new deputy attorney general for public affairs. Shasserre, who was worked in the Attorney General's office since 2015, will act as the primary liaison between the Nebraska Legislature and other state, federal and local governments.
