John Peter Ricketts is an American businessman and politician serving as the junior United States senator from Nebraska since 2023. A member of the Republican Party, Ricketts served from 2015 to 2023 as the 40th governor of Nebraska. He ran for the U.S. Senate in 2006, losing to incumbent Ben Nelson. He ran for governor of Nebraska in 2014, and after narrowly winning the six-way Republican primary, won the general election. He was reelected in 2018. Ricketts left office after his second term as governor expired on January 5, 2023; a week later he was appointed to the U.S. Senate by his gubernatorial successor, Jim Pillen, to fill the vacancy created by Ben Sasse's resignation. He won the election to complete Sasse's term in the 2024 special election, and he is running for reelection in 2026.
