Rick Holdcroft is a member of the Nebraska Legislature for District 36 from Bellevue, Nebraska. He was elected to the Nebraska Legislature on November 8, 2022.[1] Holdcroft is the first senator to serve District 36 since it was relocated to Sarpy County after the Nebraska Legislature's 2021 redistricting.[2] Holdcroft served in the United States Navy for 28 years.[2][3]
Political positions
Holdcroft is pro-life and says he supports the decision of the United States Supreme Court in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization.[4]
On January 7, 2026, Holdcroft introduced Legislative Bill 767, known as the Certified Help Options in Claims Expertise (CHOICE) for Veterans Act. The legislation seeks to establish a state-level regulatory framework for private, non-accredited entities that charge fees for assisting with veterans' benefit claims, a role the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) historically restricts to accredited attorneys and Veterans Service Officers (VSOs).[5]
