In response to Denise Powell’s election to the U.S. House of Representatives, DNC Chair Ken Martin released the following statement:
“Congratulations to Denise Powell, the Nebraska Democratic Party, and all of the organizers who worked around the clock to flip this seat from red to blue. As a fierce advocate for public education and healthcare, Denise will continue her years-long track record of fighting back against the Trump administration’s attacks on behalf of Nebraska’s working families. In the House, she will help lead the fight to lower costs, expand access to healthcare, stand up for workers, invest in rural communities, end Republicans’ reckless tariffs, and deliver a more affordable Nebraska for all.”
