Former Douglas County Prosecutor comes out of retirement

Gordon Edgar has come out of retirement to replace Douglas County Prosecuting Attorney Sean Lewis, who resigned, effective at the end of today.

Edgar is a former elected two-term Douglas County Prosecuting Attorney.  He currently serves as a Judge Pro-tem for Douglas County District Court.  

Douglas County Commissioners made the appointment Tuesday.

“We’re grateful that Mr. Edgar has agreed to accept the Board of County Commissioner’s appointment as County Prosecuting Attorney.  Given his years of service and effective leadership as our former Prosecuting Attorney, Mr. Edgar will lend immediate leadership, added depth and continuity to the Douglas County Prosecutor’s Office while providing additional time for the Central Committee to provide the Commissioners with nominations for interim appointment consideration in early 2027," said the commissioners in an email.

Edgar will serve until the general election is certified in November.
