Despite Anti-Trans Propaganda Blitz, Omaha Voters Sent Incumbent GOP Mayor Packing
A conservative PAC falsely claimed that John Ewing, Jr., the city’s mayor-elect, wanted to “transition minors without their parents’ consent.”

Voters in Omaha, Nebraska, decisively elected county treasurer John Ewing, Jr., a Democrat, to be the city’s next mayor on Tuesday — despite a last-minute blitz of Republican anti-transgender propaganda.

Incumbent Mayor Jean Stothert conceded to Ewing on Tuesday night in a historic upset, Omaha news station WOWT reported. Mayor-elect Ewing, who received more than 56% of the vote to Stothert’s 43%, is the first Black candidate elected to the mayor’s office in Omaha history, and will take the oath of office in June.
