Governor

An 11th-hour endorsement from Gov. Dave Heineman has lifted the candidacy of Jon Bruning, the state attorney general, who has been locked in a competitive primary against several well-financed opponents. Pete Ricketts, an Omaha businessman, has built a cash advantage going into the race’s final days and is backed by high-profile conservatives like Senator Ted Cruz of Texas and Representative Paul D. Ryan of Wisconsin.

DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE
Chuck Hassebrook Uncontested

U.S. Senate

The Republicans will probably keep this seat in November, but the primary has been a heated contest between Shane Osborn, a former state treasurer, and Ben Sasse, the president of a small private university. Sid Dinsdale, an Omaha banker, has gained late momentum in the race, which has drawn millions in spending from national conservative groups.

U.S. Senate

After a heated primary contest, conservatives claimed victory in Nebraska, where the Senate candidate they preferred won the Republican nomination in a race the Tea Party had made a priority. The nominee, Benjamin E. Sasse — the president of a small college and a former Bush administration official — captured almost half the votes in defeating both of his top challengers, Sid Dinsdale, a wealthy banker, and Shane Osborn, a former state treasurer.
