Nebraska state senator Bob Krist, who left the Republican Party to mount a third-party campaign against incumbent Gov. Pete Ricketts, has switched parties again.
The Douglas County Election Commission confirmed to NewsRadio 1110 KFAB on Monday that Senator Bob Krist of Omaha has changed his party affiliation from nonpartisan to Democrat.
Krist had been a Republican who was appointed to the Legislature in 2009. He clashed with the party repeatedly over the years, and announced in September that he would register as a nonpartisan to run for governor.
Krist will make the formal announcement on Tuesday in Lincoln.
