By News Channel NebraskaNEBRASKA CITY – Mayor Bryan Bequette administered the oath of office to new Nebraska City City Attorney Drew Graham at Monday’s meeting.
The Holdrege native is a 2012 law school graduate from the University of Nebraska at Lincoln. He worked six years in Grand Island for an asset recovery company. He last worked with an anti-human trafficking organization in Cambodia, where he spent 18 months.

Graham replaces David Partsch, who took a judgeship with the county court.
