PAPILLION - Darin Tompkins, a community volunteer and business leader, has announced his candidacy for Nebraska's 36th Legislative District, which encompasses the southern and western parts of Sarpy County. Tompkins, originally from South Dakota and a Nebraska resident for over 27 years, has worked for 12 years at a Nebraska-based animal health vaccine manufacturing plant. He played a significant role in securing a $200 million investment for the facility, creating local job opportunities. In addition to his professional achievements, Tompkins has been actively involved in community service through organizations like Habitat for Humanity and local food drives.

Tompkins is challenging incumbent State Senator Rick Holdcroft, who was elected in 2022. He criticizes Holdcroft for not delivering substantial property tax relief and for voting to overturn the will of the voters on certain issues. Tompkins emphasizes the need for leaders who listen to constituents and respect their voices. His campaign is centered on providing real property tax relief and honoring the decisions made by Nebraska voters.
