The Nebraska Republican Party (NEGOP) is the affiliate of the Republican Party in Nebraska. The party is led by chair Dan Welch. Its headquarters is located in Lincoln.

Party history[]

After 1860, Republicans dominated state elections in Nebraska for 30 years. The state has been strongly Republican during presidential elections.[2]

As a result of a referendum in 1934, Nebraska has the United States' only unicameral legislature, known as the Nebraska Unicameral.[3] All representatives are officially nonpartisan.[4][2] Despite this, Republicans have held a majority in the state legislature for several decades.

Political campaigns[]

In December 2009, the party organized a nationwide effort to unseat Democratic Senator Ben Nelson in 2012 under the theme "Give Ben The Boot".[5]

Current elected officials[]

The Nebraska Republican Party currently controls all six statewide offices, both of the state's U.S. Senate seats, and all three of the state's U.S. House seats.
