This is a disappointing black eye on Nebraska. I have not been a supporter of his for some time for political and professional reasons, although I found him a more encouraging and likeable representative earlier on his career.
Assuming a Republican fills his seat, I used to know Mike Flood fairly well. Always found him to be a reasonable and thoughtful, particularly in regards to news coverage, so I wouldn't be disappointed if he got the spot. His political views have seemingly shifted from more independent in nature to more conservative, presumably to fit in better with Republicans. Unsurprising, yet no less unfortunate.
