Meet Bob

The son of entrepreneurs who built a successful food distribution company, Bob Evnen learned early the values of hard work, risk-taking, and strong relationships. As an attorney, he has dedicated his career to helping businesses navigate burdensome taxes and government red tape.

 

After nearly two decades of involvement in education policy, Bob was appointed and then elected to serve on the Nebraska State Board of Education. There, he led efforts to establish more rigorous academic standards and played a key role in initiatives such as daily recitation of the Pledge of Allegiance, statewide testing, and ACT administration for all eleventh graders.

 

Elected in 2018 and re-elected in 2022, Bob has led the effort as Nebraska's Secretary of State to secure our elections, expand trade and economic opportunities for our farmers and ranchers, promote public safety as a member of Nebraska's Pardons Board, and cut red tape for businesses. 

 

An active member of the Republican Party in Nebraska for decades, Bob Evnen has served in a number of leadership roles, including General Counsel and Assistant Chair, and was a delegate to the 2016 and 2020 Republican National Conventions, proudly casting his vote for President Donald J. Trump.

 

Bob and his wife, Debra, live in Lincoln. They have three grown children and three grandchildren.
