“While we normally never give a notary’s name, we will in this case, as the notary is running for governor. His name is going to be plastered everywhere, so we feel we should break our rule in this instance.”
July 2025
The Nebraska saga takes another strange.
Jacy Todd, accused of 24 counts of improper notarization. has thrown his hat into a run for governor. For the record, he does deny the charges.
We’ve been covering this story for a while. If you want to catch up, we recommend you read our previous stories.
As you can see, it has been a roller coaster ride up to this point. And in a lot of ways, it is just getting started. Some might even say it is bizarre.

Todd is a Republican who has signed up for the 2026 primary, facing off against current Governor Jim PIllen. He is the first one to challenge the incumbent. The primary is in May 2026.
This is garnering a lot of attention, not only because of the pending charges, but also because Todd is a big supporter of legal marijuana. The owner of a CBD health and wellness store has placed himself in the spotlight.
Todd faces some huge hurdles to win the primary. The incumbent Governor Pillen already had 3.7 million dollars in campaign donations. For his part, Todd said he will travel the state and out-voice PIllen. He also looks forward to Governor debates to close the gap between his new rival.
It is a truly grassroots campaign, that aims to target Nebraskans looking for change.
“I think that Nebraska is a powerful enough state that we could grass root this all the way to the Capitol and clean house up there,” Todd said.
There is anger amongst many Nebraskans, who passed the medical marijuana bill by a vote of over 70%. The state legislature is ignoring the will of the voters, and is stalling the voters’ intentions. In many eyes this is an abandonment of their duties to the voters.
Regarding the charges, Todd says he was purposefully targeted. Since he was a prominent proponent and volunteer for the initiative, he says he was singled out by the state.
We could pore over all of the legal details of the story, but we recommend you check out this story from the Nebraska Examiner for more details.
Todd is not the first person to become a notary for a cause important to them, and he won’t be the last. He didn’t do it for the money, he did it for health reasons.
A combat veteran and a sufferer of PTSD, Todd found no solace in the loads of medications given to him. It was not until he discovered marijuana on a trip to Colorado that he found his answer. He said it worked and give him his first good night sleep in years.
Since then, he has become an ardent supporter of legalized marijuana, and has tried his best to help people who need or want to try CBD.
We wish Jacy Todd the best.
