Notes

  1. ↑ Although Nebraska state senators are elected on a nonpartisan basis, party affiliations during the time each individual served as speaker are listed here when known.
  2. ↑ Many, but not all, of the Nebraska legislative districts were renumbered in 1964. The current number of the district is listed for all speakers, but if the speaker served prior to 1964, the district number at the time they served is listed in parentheses if it was different.
