A University of Nebraska Regent announces his plans to seek the state's U.S. Senate seat vacated by Ben Nelson.
Chuck Hassebrook says he will seek the democratic nomination for the seat.
The announcement comes just a few days after former Senator and presidential candidate, Bob Kerrey said he would not enter the race.
Hassebrook has waited until the 11th hour. There are only a few days before the February 15th filing deadline.
He has been a regent for District 3, covering 15 counties, for 18 years.
Hassebrook is also the Executive Director of the grass-roots non-profit, Center for Rural Affairs.
