LINCOLN - State Sen. Merv Riepe of Ralston announced Thursday he is running for reelection in his Omaha-area district of the Nebraska Legislature.

“District 12 deserves a senator who puts people before politics and who isn’t afraid to stand up for them,” Riepe said in a press release. “I’ll continue working to control health care costs, expand access to care, maintain a balanced budget, deliver real tax relief, support public safety and grow economic opportunity for families across Nebraska.” Riepe, 83, worked for decades as a hospital administrator in Omaha and was a hospital corpsman in the U.S. Navy. He was first elected to the Legislature in 2014 and lost reelection in 2018. He won his seat back in 2022.
