My parents came to this country to escape authoritarianism, so you can bet when I see Trump taking away our rights, I’m one fired up mom. I’m running for Congress because saving our democracy is up to us. Are you ready to be brave? Our second ad is up on the air this week and

You spelled DENISE wrong 🤭 Proud to have raised $430k in my campaign’s first quarter thanks to record breaking grassroots support from Nebraskans. Wanna help me give Brett a new goal? 🦅 🇺🇸 🔥 Chip in here!

The Democrats have already raised over $400K in NE-02. I’ve raised over $250K since launching my campaign but we need to keep pace to win. Can you help me fight back and hold this seat? Donate below: tinyurl.com/mrxzn6pz

First, I’d like to thank Congressman Bacon for his service to our country. It takes immense courage and conviction to run and to serve. And it takes courage to recognize when it’s time for a fresh perspective. This district is clearly ready for - and deserves - change.

Under Trump’s tax bill, average household energy costs in Nebraska will increase by more than $500 per family every year 😳 Hardworking Nebraskans simply cannot afford this.

BIG campaign news: We broke *another* fundraising record & this race just became the #1 target to flip the House. This is our opportunity to send a champion for hardworking Nebraskans to Congress who will finally put a stop to the chaos of the Trump administration. Let's go!

In 2024, this was the one of closest races in the country. Now this is an open seat and our race moved from Toss-Up to Leans Democrat! I'm just $6,361 away from reaching our end of quarter goal -- can you chip in a few dollars to help us flip this seat?

My name is Denise Powell, and I’m the Democrat running to flip NE-02. This is a highly competitive race that my opponent Don Bacon won by less than 2 points in 2024. Want to be one of my founding supporters? Join the movement to flip NE-02:
