Former State Sen. Julie Slama Launches 2026 Nebraska State Treasurer Campaign

Julie Slama, a conservative Republican and former Nebraska State Senator, has officially launched her campaign for Nebraska State Treasurer in the 2026 elections. Having served six years representing District 1 and chaired the Legislature's Banking, Commerce, & Insurance Committee, Slama emphasizes her record of defending conservative principles, securing elections with Voter ID, and fighting government waste and fraud. She pledges to ensure the wise spending and investment of Nebraska's tax dollars, rejecting liberal investments and focusing on growing the economy. The current State Treasurer, Tom Briese, appointed in 2023, is stepping down, with Fremont Mayor Joey Spellerberg named as his replacement, though Briese has not yet announced if he will seek election. Slama's campaign aims to appeal to voters through her strong fiscal conservative leadership and commitment to delivering conservative wins. The Nebraska primary election is scheduled for May 12, 2026, with the general election on November 3, 2026.
