Position Overview

Denise Powell For Congress (NE-02) is the top Democratic pickup opportunity in the country. Nebraska's 2nd Congressional District is an open seat one of only three Harris-won districts still held by Republicans and is rated Lean Democratic by Cook Political Report. On May 12, Denise won a competitive Democratic primary and now faces Trump-endorsed Brinker Harding in November.

A working mom, small business owner, and community advocate, Denise just won her primary election, raising $1.7M from 9,000+ individual donors and attaining 60+ local and national endorsements, including EMILYs List, New Dems, Elect Democratic Women, BOLD PAC, and The Bench.
