David Schnoor is a politician from the state of Nebraska in the Midwestern United States. In December 2014, he was appointed to the Nebraska Legislature, representing a district in the east-central part of the state. He is a member of the Republican Party.[1]

Schnoor graduated from Scribner High School in Scribner, Nebraska, and immediately enlisted in the U.S. Air Force, in 1980. He earned two associate degrees from the Community College of the Air Force. He worked as a combat controller, and was awarded a Bronze Star with a "V" device for valor, for his actions during the rescue of a downed helicopter in Panama.[2][3]

In 2000, Schnoor's father retired from the family farm near Scribner. Schnoor retired from the Air Force with the rank of master sergeant and, with his brother, took over the farm. He founded a cattle-feeding operation, Schnoor Feedyard. He was elected to the Scribner-Snyder School Board, and served as its president.[2][3][4]

Scribner is in the Nebraska Legislature's 15th District, which is coterminous with Dodge County, and includes the city of Fremont.[5][6] In 2014, Charlie Janssen, the district's legislator, successfully ran for the post of state auditor, and resigned from the Legislature with two years left in his term. Governor Dave Heineman, charged with appointing someone to fill the vacancy, chose Schnoor from a set of five applicants. Schnoor was sworn in on December 12, 2014.[4][5][7]

In the 2015 session of the Legislature, Schnoor was appointed to the Education Committee and the Natural Resources Committee.[8]
