Candidates

Nominee

  • Chris Janicek, businessman and candidate for U.S. Senate in 2018[8]

On June 16, 2020, Janicek lost the support of the Nebraska Democratic Party after allegations of sending sexually explicit text messages about a female campaign staff member and allegedly using racist slurs to insult a guest at a party 20 years ago surfaced.[9][10][11] Nonetheless, Janicek refused to drop out of the race and his name remained on the ballot in the general election.
