The 1970 United States Senate election in Nebraska took place on November 3, 1970. The incumbent Republican Senator, Roman Hruska, was re-elected, albeit with a reduced majority. He defeated the former Governor of NebraskaFrank B. Morrison. This race was a rematch of the 1958 race; when Hruska defeated Morrison to win his first full term in the Senate.
Until the election of Deb Fischer in 2012; this was the last time a Republican was elected to this Senate seat.[a]
^One Republican, David Karnes, was appointed to this seat in 1987 following the death of Hruska's successor, Ed Zorinsky, to finish out the seat; but was subsequently defeated in 1988 by Bob Kerrey.
