OMAHA- Nebraska’s former first lady looks to be in good shape to run in the general election for the District 4 Board of Regents seat.

Susanne Shore, a Democrat who is married to former governor and current Republican Sen. Pete Ricketts, was the top vote-getter in early results released Tuesday night for the seat that encompasses the part of Douglas county mostly east of 72nd Street. Justin Solomon, also a Democrat, is following Shore with Democrat Larry Bradley in third.

Shore is one of five Democrats running to fill the seat formerly held by Elizabeth O’Connor, who resigned from the seat in January, months after being charged with a felony for allegedly driving while intoxicated and causing a crash that left a woman with serious injuries.
