LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Scottsbluff trial lawyer Mike Meister will announce Monday whether he’ll run for Nebraska governor.

The state Democratic Party has scheduled a press conference for 2 p.m. MDT at the Scotts Bluff County courthouse. The party says that’s when Meister will announce his decision.

The party has been without a gubernatorial candidate since Mark Lakers dropped out of the race earlier this month amid a campaign finance scandal.

Meister ran for attorney general in 2002 but lost to Jon Bruning, who’s now seeking his second term.

The Democratic candidate will face Republican incumbent Dave Heineman in November.
