Nebraska Secretary of State Bob Evnen launches reelection campaign

LINCOLN, Neb. (KLKN) — Secretary of State Bob Evnen announced his campaign for reelection Friday in the rotunda of the state Capitol.

“I’m running for reelection so that I can continue to fight for our conservative values and the Nebraska way of life,” he said.

Evnen was initially sworn in as Nebraska’s 27th secretary of state in 2019.

“I’m proudly pro-life, pro-Second Amendment, pro-family and pro-Nebraska,” Evnen said.

He is a Lincoln native, father of three and grandfather of three.
