DNC Congratulates Democratic Nominee Denise Powell on Her Victory in the Nebraska Democratic Congressional District 2 Primary Arrow

The DNC congratulates Denise Powell for winning the Democratic primary for Nebraska's 2nd Congressional District. Across Nebraska, Democratic voters backed candidates like Powell who are focused on lowering costs, protecting healthcare, and fighting for Nebraska's working families. This year, Democrats are seizing the opportunity to flip Nebraska's 2nd Congressional District blue and take back the majority in the House of Representatives.

In response to Powell's victory, DNC Chair Ken Martin released the following statement:

"Denise Powell is a proven leader and fierce advocate for public education and healthcare with a years-long track record of fighting back against the Trump administration's extreme attacks on behalf of Nebraska's working families. While Trump-backed Brinker Harding has doubled down on his support of Trump and his cruel attacks on hardworking Nebraskans, Powell is ready to fight back against Republicans' agenda of higher costs, constant chaos, and rampant corruption in Congress. With strong momentum on our side, Democrats have a real opportunity to flip this seat blue, and the DNC will continue to organize and mobilize from now until Election Day to elect a fighter for Nebraska's 2nd Congressional District."
