The committee also confirmed Rick Benson as assistant chairman of the Nebraska Republican Party. Benson has served in local party leadership, including as secretary of the Madison County Republican Party, and has been active in grassroots Republican organizing in northeast Nebraska.

Additional leadership actions included the election of Dave Brodahl of Saunders County as Congressional District 2 member-at-large by the CD2 caucus. Pam Swenson of Cass County was appointed secretary of the Nebraska Republican Party, and Toni Hoefler of Madison County was appointed assistant secretary.
