LINCOLN — It’s been said that Brad Ashford could have trouble finding his car in the parking lot at the State Capitol.
But when it came to finding solutions to some of biggest issues confronting the state and his hometown of Omaha — from gun control, to immigration, to sales taxes and funding a new arena — Ashford often found a way.
The former state senator and U.S. congressional representative died Tuesday from complications of cancer. He was 72.
A native of Omaha, Ashford served two eight-year stints in the Nebraska Legislature and then two years in the House of Representatives before being defeated for re-election in 2016.
He led an agency that served Omaha’s poorest and diverse populations, guided students on the art of public-private partnerships and collaboration, and as a guest columnist began to share decades of experience in local news media outlets.
