SENATOR PANKONIN ANNOUNCES RESIGNATION FROM LEGISLATURE
State Senator Dave Pankonin of Louisville, Nebraska announced today that he will resign from his District 2 seat in the Nebraska Legislature effective October 7, 2011. Pankonin was first elected to the legislature in 2006 and was re-elected in 2010.
“It is with sincere regret that I announce my resignation from the Nebraska Legislature,” Pankonin wrote in a letter to his legislative colleagues. “It has been an honor and privilege to represent the citizens of District 2. However, in the spring of last year my responsibilities for our family businesses changed. After much careful consideration I have concluded that my new obligations mean I can no longer devote the time that is required to continue in office and represent my constituents effectively.”
Pankonin cited his ongoing involvement with his family’s agricultural equipment dealership and his added responsibilities with Home State Bank in Louisville, due to the sudden death of the bank’s president last year. Pankonin’s family has been associated with Home State Bank since it was founded in 1915.
“The people in District 2 are great people, and they need and deserve a state senator who is able to give them the best representation possible,” Pankonin said. “I’ve done that the past five years, but I see new challenges on the horizon with my family’s business interests that are going to take too much time away from my role as a state senator. It wouldn’t be fair to my constituents to continue in the office without being able to put in the necessary time and effort to serve them well. My friends and colleagues know when I take on a job in public service, I do it to the best of my ability. In the future, I wouldn’t be able to give them my very best, and District 2 deserves a senator who will work hard to represent their interests in the Nebraska Unicameral,” Pankonin said Wednesday.
“My five years as a state senator have been the highlight of my 19 years of elected public service. I have especially enjoyed the friendships with my colleagues and the opportunity to contribute to an institution that I will always respect and treasure. I want to thank everyone for their understanding of my situation and the difficult decision I must make. My wife Lori and I want to especially thank the citizens of District 2 who placed their faith and trust in me to serve them in the legislature. That honor will never be forgotten,” Pankonin said.
Pankonin served as a member of the Health and Human Services Committee; the Banking, Commerce and Insurance Committee; the Revenue Committee and was chairman of the Nebraska Retirement Systems Committee from 2009-2010.
