The 1902 Nebraska gubernatorial election was held on November 4, 1902. Republican nominee John H. Mickey defeated Democratic and Populist fusion nominee William Henry Thompson with 49.69% of the vote.
Incumbent Republican Governor Ezra P. Savage did not stand for re-election. Savage originally intended to run for a second term as governor, but the criticism which was caused by his parole and pardon of former State Treasurer Bartley, who was serving a prison sentence for embezzlement, influenced his decision to step down from the race.[1]
