  • Jeffrey Lane "Jeff" Fortenberry, born December 27, 1960 in Baton Rouge, Louisiana is a Republican U.S. Representative from the First Congressional District of Nebraska. The district is based in Lincoln and includes most of the eastern third of the state outside the immediate Omaha area. He was first elected to the United States House of Representatives in 2004, succeeding Doug Bereuter, the longest serving congressman in Nebraska history, who resigned earlier that year to become president of the Asia Foundation. He was re-elected to a second term in 2006. He is married to the former Celeste Gregory, and they have five children. He is a devout Roman Catholic and is strongly pro-life. Prior to being elected to the United States Congress, Fortenberry was an at-large member of the Lincoln City Council from 1997 to 2001. His main commitments in this role were community revitalization and increasing public safety, but doing both without raising taxation. Fortenberry was a congressional intern while in college. He has previously worked as an economist, and he has served as a salesman and publishing executive for Truck Paper. He holds a master's degree in public policy from Georgetown University. He also received a masters degree in theology from Franciscan University of Steubenville in Ohio. He graduated from Catholic High in Baton Rouge. Fortenberry ran in 2004 for the seat being vacated by Bereuter. He won the Republican primary in a field of seven candidates with 39% of the vote. His most prominent opponent in the primary was Curt Bromm, the speaker of the Nebraska Legislature and a moderate Republican in Bereuter's mold. He defeated State Senator Matt Connealy in the general election by 11 percentage points. In the 2006 congressional election, Fortenberry was challenged by former Democratic Lieutenant Governor Maxine Moul. Fortenberry defeated Moul by 18 percentage points.
