District 43 Legislative Candidate receives endorsements from Nebraska U.S. Senators and neighboring District 42 Senator Mike Jacobson
NORTH PLATTE, Neb. (KNOP) – Tanya Storer has announced her candidacy for the Nebraska Legislature. Storer aims to represent the 43rd Legislative District currently represented by term-limited Senator Tom Brewer.
Storer launched her campaign with support from both Nebraska U.S. Senators Deb Fischer and Pete Ricketts along with Nebraska U.S. Congressman Mike Flood and neighboring District 42 Senator Mike Jacobson.
“I’m running for the legislature because I believe District 43 needs a principled, conservative voice in Lincoln,” said Storer. “I am committed to reducing the tax burden on our farmers, ranchers, businesses, and families and on continuing to develop economic opportunities that can bring our kids and our grandkids, back to our communities. My husband and I have built our life here, raised our family here, and served our communities here and we understand how important it is to have a committed conservative fighting for us.”
Tanya and her husband Eric share the day-to-day running of their cattle operation in the heart of Cherry County. She served as a Cherry County Commissioner for 8 years and has served as vice-chairman of the Nebraska Brand Committee, chair of the Niobrara Council, as well as serving on the Blueprint Nebraska Board, the Nebraska DOT Innovation Task Force, the UNMC Advisory Board, and the Region 4 Behavioral Health Board. Tanya and Eric have three grown children, Braden, Hailey, and Emmet.
“Tanya is committed to our shared conservative values, and I’m thrilled to support her in her run for Legislature,” said Senator Ricketts. “I know she will fight for real tax relief and work to expand economic opportunities and improve infrastructure throughout Nebraska. She will be a tireless voice for rural Nebraska values, and I look forward to seeing her serve the people of District 43 in Lincoln.”
The 43rd Legislative District consists of Blaine, Boyd, Brown, Cherry, Custer, Dawes, Garfield, Keya Paha, Loup, Rock, and Sheridan counties.

A Nebraska quarterback commit is making headlines heading into his senior season. Five-star prospect Trae Taylor has been named by Rivals as one of the ‘five high school football transfers that will make a big impact this 2026 season.’
Taylor heads into 2026 after a strong 2025 season at Carmel Catholic (IL). In 11 games, he threw 3,571 yards, 38 touchdowns, and three interceptions. He also ran 77 times for 633 yards and 12 touchdowns.
The five-star quarterback is transferring to Millard South (NE) this offseason and will join a team that went 12-1 this past season and won back-to-back Class A State championships. He is taking over as the starting quarterback, replacing Jett Thomalla, who signed with Alabama.
Rivals Director of Scouting and Rankings Charles Power writes that the transfer quarterback is well-rounded and one of the stronger arms in the 2027 cycle. He also believes that the development he has shown this late in his career should be seen as a positive.
“Brings a combination of high-end arm talent and refinement to the table. Has a whippy release that uncoils quickly to generate fast arm action. Added arm strength in the off-season prior to his senior year. Can drive the football to all areas of the field with palpable zip. Rips throws out to the far hash and up the seam. Throws a tight spiral that cuts through the wind. Has proven to be accurate in multiple settings. Hyper-trained and plays with a good level of consistency as a passer.”
Taylor is also the first Cornhusker commit to ever hold the title of Elite 11 MVP. He was named the Most Valuable Player at the conclusion of The Opening Finals at Nike’s World Headquarters last month.
