Republican Nebraska Gov. Jim Pillen on Thursday appointed his predecessor, Pete Ricketts, to fill the Senate seat vacated by Ben Sasse.
Ricketts, a Republican, served as governor of Nebraska from 2015 until last week when Pillen was sworn in after winning the 2022 election. Ricketts, who was term-limited, had endorsed Pillen and was widely expected to be the choice to replace Sasse.
The former governor, and part-owner of the Chicago Cubs, said he is “committed to running” in the 2024 and 2026 elections. Ricketts also said Nebraskans should expect “a lot of similarities” between Sasse’s conservative positions and his own.
