David Landis (born June 10, 1948) is an American politician, a former state senator in the unicameral Nebraska Legislature, and a college instructor.
Many of the 391 bills he passed in 28 years in the Nebraska Unicameral were consensus measures forged by negotiation which brought contesting parties to agreement.
For fifteen years he taught negotiation courses at the University of Nebraska College of Law and the Department of Public Administration.
Since Nebraska voters passed Initiative Measure 415 in 2001 limiting state senators to two terms after 2001, he was unable run for reelection.
And accepted the position of Director of Urban Development in June 2007 when offered the job by Mayor Chris Beutler.
