He was elected in 1978 to represent the 46th Nebraska legislative district and reelected in 1982, 1986, 1990, 1994, 1998, and 2002. He currently sits on the General Affairs and Urban Affairs committees as well as Committee on Committees and chairs the Revenue committee.

As of June 2007 he is the Urban Development Department director for the City of Lincoln Nebraska.
