(North Platte) Today, Senator Mike Jacobson of North Platte announced his intention to seek re-election to continue serving Legislative District 42. The district comprises Lincoln, Hooker, Thomas, McPherson and Perkins Counties.
"When I ran for legislature over three years ago, I promised to put our district first over politics and get results for my neighbors,” Jacobson said. “Over the last three years my track record has proven that I’ve lived up to that promise—working with my colleagues to find solutions to the most important challenges facing our families, our communities, and our state.”
In the 2025 legislative session Jacobson was instrumental in the passage of legislation that supports funding for rural critical access hospitals such as Great Plains Health. He also led the conversation for property tax relief and sponsored legislation to create greater railroad safety measures in light of 2025 derailments.
“Serving as your senator has been the honor of my life,” Jacobson said. “From North Platte to Mullen and Thedford, I’ve listened to every taxpayer and family and worked hard to be a strong voice that represents the best interests of our district, and not those of special interests. I look forward to continuing what we started in getting results for our district.”
Jacobson serves as the Chair of the Banking, Commerce, and Insurance Committee, as well as on Natural Resources Committee, Committee On Committees, and the Executive Board.
