LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) – Gov. Dave Heineman has endorsed former Omaha Mayor Hal Daub in his bid to be elected to the University of Nebraska Board of Regents. Heineman praised Daub’s service as a former congressman and mayor, and said he will bring a “unique and insightful perspective” to the board if elected. Daub released the governor’s  statement Wednesday.  Daub, who served four terms in the U.S. House of Representatives, is running for the District 8 seat on the board, which includes much of the Omaha area. The seat is currently held by Randy Ferlic, who recently announced he will not seek a third term. Daub is a graduate of the University Of Nebraska College Of Law and a member of the UNO Advisory Board.
