OMAHA— Brett Lindstrom is considering a nonpartisan run for Nebraska governor, saying he is concerned about the state’s direction under Gov. Jim Pillen but does not want to act as a “spoiler” in the race. Lindstrom criticized increasing political polarization and some of Pillen’s rhetoric, while also pointing to disagreements over property taxes, the state budget, and economic development policies.

If he enters the race, Lindstrom would join Pillen, Democratic former State Sen. Lynne Walz, and Legal Marijuana NOW candidate Rick Beard on the November ballot. Lindstrom said he sees a need for a more pragmatic and less partisan approach to governing and believes a nonpartisan campaign could offer Nebraskans another option in the 2026 governor’s race.
