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 Democrats, to win elections, a notion that has long been pushed by many Democratic political insiders, and Democratic primary voters in Nebraska's 2nd Congressional District chose a more progressive path for the Democratic Party, a path that includes steadfast support for universal health care and reproductive rights.
Now, the ultimate challenge lies ahead for Eastman. The race in Nebraska's 2nd District might be the single most significant U.S. House race in the entire history of the United States of America, and that is not an understatement. There's a good chance that Nebraska's 2nd District is the district that will end up deciding which party controls the U.S. House of Representatives after this year's elections, and with President Donald Trump being the single biggest threat to democracy and the rule of law in American history, Americans can't afford two more years of a Republican House majority that will do nothing but be a rubber stamp for Trump's dangerous, fascist agenda. If elected to Congress, Kara Eastman will hold Trump accountable and stand up for democracy, common sense, the rule of law, America, and the people of Nebraska's 2nd District, and I strongly encourage voters in Nebraska's 2nd Congressional District to vote for Kara Eastman in the November elections this year.
