On Tuesday, Kara Eastman, the chairwoman of Omaha, Nebraska's Metropolitan Community College (MCC) board, pulled off one of the biggest upsets in Nebraska political history by defeating former Congressman Brad Ashford in the Omaha-based 2nd Congressional District of Nebraska by a narrow margin, but a large enough margin to avoid an automatic recount, in the Democratic primary. Eastman will face Donald Trump crony Don Bacon in the general election in November. One big reason why Eastman won is because she is willing to stand up to those in her own party that oppose progressive values; this campaign ad is an actual campaign ad Eastman ran during the Democratic primary campaign: Eastman's victory in the Democratic primary will live in the glories of the progressive movement for generations to come. Democratic primary voters in Nebraska's 2nd Congressional District rejected the notion that Democrats need to appease Republicans, or even run Republican candidates as Democrat
Midwestern politics from a progressive perspective!
