August 21, 2025 - 17:51
Brian Maher, who currently serves as the commissioner for the Nebraska Department of Education, has officially ended his campaign for a seat on the University of Nebraska Board of Regents. Maher was vying for the District 1 position, which encompasses Lincoln and a significant portion of northern Lancaster County.
His decision to withdraw from the race comes as a surprise to many, given his extensive background in education and leadership within the state. Maher's tenure as commissioner has been marked by efforts to enhance educational standards and address various challenges facing schools in Nebraska.
The Board of Regents plays a crucial role in overseeing the University of Nebraska system, making decisions that impact students, faculty, and the broader community. With Maher stepping back from the race, the field for the District 1 seat is now open, and potential candidates will likely emerge in the coming weeks as the election approaches.
