LINCOLN, NE – The Nebraska Democratic Party Chair Jane Kleeb issues the following statement regarding the Omaha City Primary Election results:

“We congratulate John Ewing for advancing to the General Election with major momentum on his side. We thank Jasmine Harris for bringing forward critical issues facing the Omaha community during the primary. John Ewing will join several strong Democratic candidates advancing up and down the ballot who will help shape Omaha for decades. All of the candidates and volunteers sacrificed their time, sweat, and resources to better the lives of fellow Nebraskans. Democrats brought solution-based ideas that could benefit all communities and families, not just those at the top, which is the only thing Republicans like Jean Stothert seem to care about these days. We will be laser-focused on supporting all of our Democratic candidates getting across the finish line in the General Election on May 13th, 2025.”
