Comstock and Hosein compete for Nebraska Regent seat
Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 28 Oct, 16:50 · Archive
Brent Comstock and Dr Jeremy Hosein are running for an open University of Nebraska Board of Regents seat in Lancaster County.
Brent Comstock, 31, and Dr Jeremy Hosein, 44, are competing for an open seat on the University of Nebraska Board of Regents in District 1, which covers much of Lincoln and northwest Lancaster County, including Emerald, Malcolm, Raymond, Agnew and Davey. They seek to succeed Tim Clare, who has held the position since 2008 and ran unopposed in his last two reelections.
Comstock is a founder of an advertising and marketing firm who also works in political consulting. Hosein is a neurosurgeon who served as student regent at the University of Nebraska Medical Center in 2013-14. Both candidates say they want to focus on affordability, lead the university into its next chapter, listen to campus voices and be more active in connecting with policymakers than previous regents. Each has faced criticism over their political party registration.
Comstock, 31, said voters want access to their regent and has proposed quarterly town halls to address practical solutions for the university's future. 'They care about the university being a resemblance of how strong our state is,' he said. Hosein, 44, views the university as at one of its 'inflection points' and said regents and leaders 'don't have time to spin our wheels here', arguing that decisive leadership is needed to avoid missing opportunities to develop a next-generation workforce.
