The 2022 Nebraska Attorney General election was held on November 8, 2022, to elect the next attorney general of Nebraska. Incumbent Republican Attorney General Doug Peterson was eligible to run for a third term, but he announced on December 14, 2021, that he would not run for re-election.[1]

No Democratic candidates filed to run for the position, and Hilgers faced Legal Marijuana Now candidate, former Republican congressional candidate Larry Bolinger, in the general election.
