NE-02 is one of the most important races in the country.

With Don Bacon retiring, this open seat will help decide control of the House and Omaha’s suburbs will be at the center of it.

Denise Powell built a strong coalition across the district and enters the general election with the profile Democrats need to compete and win.

We’re proud to endorse Denise Powell.

Anyone else remember this? In 2008, GOP Rep. Lee Terry desperately reached out to "Obama-Terry" voters in #NE02 — the "blue dot." It worked, just barely, but now Dems have their best shot in years to finally reclaim the district. We recap recent history here: www.the-downballot.com/p/morning-di...
AP calls last night's #NE02 Democratic primary for political strategist Denise Powell, who narrowly defeats state Sen. John Cavanaugh. She'll take on Omaha City Councilman Brinker Harding for one of the most vulnerable GOP seats in the nation.

Denise Powell wins Dem nomination in Nebraska’s 2nd District • Nebraska Examiner

Denise Powell overcame the name-recognition hurdle facing most first-time candidates with brute force in her victory.

Okay, we've got a puzzler. John Cavanaugh, one of the Dems still awaiting the results of last night's squeaker in #NE02, is John Joseph Cavanaugh Jr. But his father (who once held the seat Jr. is running for!) is named John Joseph Cavanaugh III. So why isn't he IV? Anyone know? Please tell us!

Democratic Majority for Israel #DMFI is a lobbying group advocating pro-Israel policies within the Democratic Party.
They had cancelled their ads in NE-02 after the beneficiary, New Dem-endorsed Denise Powell, had disavowed support from pro-Israel PACs.
Now they are running ads in NE-02 through a shell PAC called "Pro-Choice Majority 2026," which has the same campaign treasurer.

Pro-Israel Super PAC Returns in Pro-Choice Clothing in Nebraska

Democratic Majority for Israel hastily got out of the Second District race after realizing the beneficiary of its spending had disavowed the group. It’s back under a different name.
