LINCOLN — State Sen. Jane Raybould announced Thursday that she will not seek reelection to her central Lincoln seat in 2026, retiring at the end of her term after 16 years in public service. Raybould, 66, said she has been honored and humbled by getting to serve on the Lancaster County Board of Commissioners, Lincoln City Council and in the Nebraska Legislature. In each office, she said she juggled family obligations and outside work.

Raybould made clear that her announcement is not a resignation speech, writing: “Oh no, not even close!” She said she remains committed and dedicated “to being the most effective senator” in her remaining year and a half in office.
