Today, we received the news from DCCC Chairman Ben Ray Luján that we have earned our spot on the highly competitive Red to Blue List!
We could not have done this without your incredible support throughout the primary. You stood by us because you understood the power of this movement here on the ground in Omaha.
This victory is yours.
We are thrilled to have the support of the DCCC. They have recognized the overwhelming groundswell of support we have here in Omaha and want to help us expand our people-powered movement to turn this district blue in November.
Thank you for being a part of this movement. With your help, we’ll flip NE-02 from Red to Blue in November.
