Former State Senator Lynne Walz will stop to converse with Lincoln residents this Saturday, Dec. 13, as she contemplates running for Nebraska Governor in 2026.
Walz, considering a run on the Democrat ticket, has traveled the state this week for a series of 10 town hall listening sessions. Lincoln will be her eighth stop, set for 10:30 a.m. at the IBEW Local 265 building (1409 Old Farm Road).
In her exploratory committee announcement in late November, Walz said her campaign would be “for the people” while decrying an overly partisan, “top versus bottom” political system.
She told KLIN News she would decide whether to run at the start of 2026, after “hearing directly from Nebraskans about the issues they are facing.”
“Like my fellow neighbors, I am struggling with the rising costs, specifically healthcare and housing, and especially with property taxes. These are not partisan issues and we need to be laser focused on finding solutions to the things we are all struggling with” Walz said in her tour date announcement.
Following her stop in Lincoln, Walz is set to finish her tour in Omaha, at the IBEW Local 22 building (8946 “L” Street), at 3:00 p.m.
