Nebraska’s 2026 election cycle takes shape

The Farm Bureau has endorsed Gov. Jim Pillen while the Nebraska Farmers Union supports Lynne Walz, and Rick Beard is campaigning on cannabis reform, taxes, jobs, roads, and population loss. Voters will also consider extending legislative term limits to three consecutive terms, while secretary of state candidates differ over election-security messaging, modernization, and accessibility; a separate AG-Lincoln petition dispute could affect the 2026 ballot.
