Kearney Candidate Filing Window Closes

The filing window has closed for candidates running for leadership in the City of Kearney, and the Kearney School Board this April. No challengers stepped forward in either election.  

For Kearney Board of Alderman, Ashton King is running unopposed for Ward 1 Alderman and David Lehman is running unopposed for Ward 2 Alderman.

For the two Kearney School Board seats, the only filers were the three incumbents. The three incumbents are Jake Klingensmith, Bree Switzer, and Nic Vasquez and will be re-elected automatically.

The Kearney School Board will not have any other items on the ballot, so it will not have an election this season.

Election Day is April 7, 2026.
