Nebraska’s 2026 Legislature races feature 61 candidates across 25 districts, with 11 districts hosting three or more primary contenders. As counting nears completion, two incumbents trailed, and several races could flip in November under Nebraska’s nonpartisan, top-two system. About $4.1 million had been raised by the end of April. Republicans hold 33 seats to Democrats’ 15 (plus one progressive nonpartisan). The slate includes notable contests in Omaha-area districts and a special election in LD 41, highlighting a competitive path forward despite the GOP’s numerical edge.
