Powell pulls ahead in front by 1000 votes! [View all]

Omaha, Nebraska.

Denise Powell is leading John Cavanaugh with 90% of vote in and still too close to call as of late last night, early this morning.

Cavanaugh is a Trump supporter in sheep’s clothing. He acts like a Democrat but has always had a GOBer mindset long before Trump was even the president the first time. Cavanaugh’s father was the same way when he held a seat in Congress himself in the late 70’s into the early 80’s. Cavanaugh has some high profile back funding from unknown sources. Some say it’s GOBer backed funding. I don’t trust Cavanaugh or any of his tricks.

Powell is by far the better qualified candidate of the two candidates on paper and policies. She also destroyed his theory about taking the Blue Dot away from Nebraska and the Omaha area their only chance to have a Democrat voice in the elections. He is all for a complete red state.

This is for Nebraska 2nd US Congressional seat for the primary, Don Bacon’s seat in the US Congress.
