The Nebraska Supreme Court ruled Monday morning that state senator Adam Morfeld of Lincoln is qualified to run for Lancaster County Attorney.
The Nebraska Republican Party had filed a lawsuit against Morfeld’s candidacy claiming he had not actively practiced law for two years. In a unanimous vote, the court ruled that Morfeld has fulfilled the two year requirement through his work with with Civic Nebraska.
“It was a lawsuit completely without any merit meant to harass a candidate and circumvent the voters. Their failure at every level of the litigation in the election commissioner’s office, District Court and now Supreme Court only exemplifies that,” Morfeld said in a written statement.
Morfeld’s name will now be on the May 10th primary ballot. Morfeld is running against Republican Lancaster County Attorney Pat Condon, who ran unopposed in the November 2018 election.
