(KLZA)-- Auburn, Nebraska native and now Lincoln resident Brent Comstock has announced he is a candidate for the District 1 seat on the University of Nebraska Board of Regents.

That seat is currently held by Regent Tim Clare of Lincoln who has said he will not seek a fourth term on the board.

New district boundaries took effect in 2021 and match those of the State Board of Education District 1, which in November elected newcomer Kristin Christensen.

The 29-year-old Comstock is an entrepreneuer and serves as the CEO of the Lincoln-based marketing firm BCPM, which he started while he was in school, a decade ago.

NU Board of Regents District 1 includes the northern half of Lincoln and the surrounding communities of Emerald, Malcolm, Agnew, Raymond and Davey.
