Governor Pete Ricketts announced Wednesday that he will seek qualified applicants to fill the vacancy in Legislative District 19. The vacancy was created by the resignation of Mike Flood following his election to represent Nebraska’s First Congressional District in the United States House of Representatives.
Applications to fill the vacancy will be accepted until 5:00pm on Friday, July 8. Ricketts says applicants wanting to be considered for appointment must demonstrate that they have lived within the district for at least a full year, are registered to vote and are at least 21 years old.
District 19 represents Madison County and the southern portion of Pierce County. Whoever is selected will serve the remainder of Flood’s unexpired term, which runs until January 2025.
