Susanne Shore seeks NU regent seat in Omaha, pledging cross-campus innovation
Democrat Susanne Shore, former Nebraska first lady and wife of Republican Sen. Pete Ricketts, has announced a campaign for an Omaha seat on the University of Nebraska Board of Regents. She aims to heal infighting, push cross-campus collaboration, expand internships and work-study, and pursue data-driven, measurable goals to strengthen NU and its funding, in a nonpartisan race to fill Elizabeth O’Connor’s term amid a field of Democrats.
