Bob Krist is back in Nebraska politics, with another unexpected political turn.
The retired Air Force lieutenant colonel and former Nebraska state senator has been a Republican, an independent and the Democratic nominee for governor. Now, Krist is running for Nebraska Secretary of State as a candidate of the newly formed America First Party.
In this episode of The Dan Parsons Show, Krist explains why he entered the race, how his America First candidacy came together and why he believes his background prepares him to serve as Nebraska’s chief election officer.
Dan also presses Krist on the political questions surrounding his candidacy: Does he embrace the America First Party platform? Does “America First” mean something different to Bob Krist than it does to Donald Trump?
And Krist answers a question Dan intends to ask every candidate seeking to oversee Nebraska elections:
Was Joe Biden legitimately elected president in 2020?
It’s a conversation about Krist’s unusual political journey, the emergence of a new party in Nebraska and what could become one of the state’s most consequential down-ballot races of 2026.
