LINCOLN- Two more candidates have announced bids for seats in the Nebraska Legislature, including one incumbent lawmaker and another candidate involved in multiple community organizations. State Sen. Rob Dover of Norfolk announced that he plans to seek a complete term in the Legislature after being appointed to replace now-U.S. Rep. Mike Flood last year.

Last week, Lincoln business owner Seth Derner announced he was seeking election to the seat currently held by Sen. Beau Ballard of Lincoln. Ballard is another appointee who joined the Legislature at the start of this year’s session to replace now-Attorney General Mike Hilgers, and he has yet to officially announce plans to seek a full term.

In his campaign press release, Dover touted his support for significant conservative bills that passed this session, including a large tax relief package and an increase to Nebraska’s existing abortion ban to 12 weeks based on gestational age. Derner called for the Legislature to return to its nonpartisan roots. If elected, he said, he would focus on education, healthcare, jobs and lowering property taxes.
