A Lincoln man who works in the renewable energy industry is stepping into the race to represent Nebraska’s 1st Congressional District in the U.S. House of Representatives. Eric Moyer, a registered Democrat, is set to formally announce his run next week during a Lincoln campaign event.

The Nebraskan, who grew up in the northeastern town of Madison, said a prominent issue he would like Congress to focus on is energy security. He said Nebraska is in a position to better harness natural resources such as sunlight, wind and water.

“I want to support legislation that allows for domestic energy production to come back, and reverse the cuts that were made in the ‘Big Beautiful Bill’ that are going to damage wind and solar industry, as well as a renewed focus on nuclear,” Moyer said.

The 1st Congressional District covers 12 counties in Nebraska, including the cities of Lincoln and Norfolk. Moyer seeks to capture the congressional seat from current representative Republican Mike Flood, who’s represented the district since 2022.
