Attorney General — Nebraska

What this office is
The Attorney General of Nebraska is the state’s lawyer. One office. The whole state. The term is four years. The next regular election is Tuesday, November 3, 2026. Confirm the clock, and the Attorney General of record, on official Nebraska sites. This office has no term limit — that is a clock fact, not a crown.
This is not the Governor. The Governor file lives at Governor of Nebraska. This is not a United States Attorney. This is not a county attorney. This office is the lawyer for Nebraska.
Lincoln is the capital, in Lancaster County, under the tower. Omaha is the largest city. Omaha is not the capital. Ninety-three counties hire the same Attorney General — the Sandhills, the Panhandle, the Platte towns, and the farm counties included. The Legislature here is unicameral. That is a different office. This page is the state’s lawyer.
This page is Side One. For this cycle, use the election twin.

How the job fits this community
The inbox is a state inbox: a capital file from the tower that is not an Omaha skyline, a Sandhills cattle-country consumer file that never makes a national broadcast, a Panhandle drought file, a Platte-water file, and a public-integrity file that is not a Douglas County docket.
Staff who only know Omaha, or only know Lincoln as the whole state, are not doing the job. Iowa is a different state. Kansas is a different state. South Dakota is a different state. Colorado is a different state. Wyoming is a different state. The Sandhills remain Nebraska.
What the job entails
- Represent the state. Not a legislator. Not the Governor. Not the Unicameral.
- Opinions where Nebraska law actually gives them.
- Civil and criminal matters the constitution and statutes actually assign — not every county attorney’s case.
- Consumer and public-integrity files that are state files.
- Two homes. Lincoln for the job. The rest of the state for the people who hired the office.
