Nebraskan who last year ran as a Democrat in an effort to unseat Rep. Lee Terry is now serving as the Republican's campaign co-chairman.

Terry's campaign announced Monday that Richard Carter will serve as co-chairman of Terry's 2010 re-election effort. His partner in leading the campaign has not yet been announced.

The 31-year-old Carter lost to Jim Esch in the 2008 Democratic primary for Nebraska's 2nd District House seat. Following that loss, he joined the re-election campaign for Terry, who went on to win a sixth term.

Carter is now a registered Republican.

A member of the U.S. Air Force Reserve who flew tours over Iraq and Afghanistan in 2003, 2004, 2005, Carter teaches economics at Metro Community College in Omaha.
