Charles Herbster, a businessman and former gubernatorial candidate, is considering a run against current Governor Jim Pillen in the 2026 Republican primary. Herbster, who used the slogan Make Nebraska Great Again in his 2022 campaign, has criticized Pillens approach to business attraction and handling of medical cannabis. If Herbster runs, it would be a rematch of the 2022 primary, which was one of the most expensive in Nebraska history. Pillen, who has already announced his reelection bid, has a significant cash advantage and has focused on issues like immigration, cultural topics, and property tax relief.
