Election 2025: Gov. Pillen blames West Omaha Republicans for mayor’s defeat

Speaking from the podium at Mayor Jean Stothert’s campaign party on Tuesday night, Gov. Jim Pillen told Republicans that they “just didn’t get the vote out.”

WOWT

The midterms are going to be VERY interesting, if the reasons for this upset hold true.

I might've voted for Stothert if our governor hadn't endorsed her. Might've. But then she pulled some kinda shady shit regarding the old downtown library.
