  • Feb. 3, 2026– Member, University of Nebraska Board of Regents. Source
    Appointed by the Governor on Feb. 3, 2026 (regent page). The District 4 seat was won in November 2024 by Elizabeth R. O'Connor (2024 official results); the saved state records do not say when or how it became vacant. The remaining four years of that term are on the Nov. 3, 2026 ballot, and he is not on the candidate list (2026 candidate list), so no end date is given for the appointment.
