State Senator Bob Krist announced in September 2017 he left the Republican Party in order to mount a third party challenge against Governor Ricketts.[7] Krist planned to create a new party in order to run, which will require submitting 5,000 signatures to qualify the party for the ballot.[7] However, in February 2018 he abandoned the independent candidacy and became a Democrat.
