Jacy C. Todd, the Nebraska notary public charged with official misconduct over allegations of improperly notarizing pages of the state’s medical cannabis petition, is running for governor in 2026, the Nebraska Examiner reports. Todd, 54, who is also a medical cannabis advocate and owner of a CBD health and wellness retail store, will run as a Republican and challenge incumbent Gov. Jim Pillen in the party’s primary.

“I want to provide that hope for everybody and let them know that there is an out. We can stand together. We can push back.” — Todd to the Examiner

Todd added that he wants to be a “voice of the people” and prove that not only the “richest” people get elected to office. He plans to run a grassroots campaign, hoping to “out voice” Pillen and challenge him to debates.

“I think that Nebraska is a powerful enough state that we could grassroot this all the way to the Capitol and clean house up there,” Tood told the Examiner.

Todd told the Examiner that he began using cannabis following his tour during Operation Desert Storm, where he served as a combat medic. He said he began using cannabis to deal with pain and would eventually open Herban Pulse to help others.

Following the successful 2024 campaign to legalize medical cannabis in the state, Todd was charged with criminal malfeasance – accused of improperly notarizing pages of medical cannabis petition signatures on 24 occasions. Those charges were initially dropped but were resurrected in April by a Hall County District Court Judge with a trial scheduled for September.
