Today, NewDem Action Fund Chair Greg Stanton (AZ-04) issued a statement following the news that New Dem endorsed candidate Denise Powell was declared the winner of Nebraska’s 2nd congressional district primary:
“Denise Powell won on a commonsense message of lowering costs for working families, expanding access to affordable healthcare, defending public schools, and holding Washington accountable to the people it's supposed to serve. The NewDem Action Fund is proud to stand with her, and we're ready to send Denise to Congress and protect Nebraska's Blue Dot this November.
“NE-02 is one of the most important pickup opportunities in the country, and Denise is exactly the kind of pragmatic, solutions-oriented Democrat this district has been waiting for. New Dems supported Denise because candidates like her are the key to 218 in 2026 and to building a durable, governing majority in cycles to come.”
