In June, we will celebrate Pride Month all month!

What started with the Stonewall Riots of 1969 and pride marches in June, a year later, evolved into a month-long show of solidarity and celebration, honoring the contributions of the LGBTQIA community for decades.

The Pride movement has grown globally with members of the community and allies pushing for gay rights, liberation, inclusion, and the right to live. We stand with members of the q***r community in their struggle for equality and acceptance.

We will continue to honor the sacrifices made for universal acceptance. Get involved with the Nebraska Stonewall Democrats and do your part. To volunteer, donate, or get involved, visit: https://linktr.ee/nestonewalldems

A reminder of Mike Flood's town hall this afternoon in Norfolk for those who can attend in person. Let's make sure we ask the tough questions during the Q&A portion. The voters of deserve answers on why he supports policies that have hurt our farmers, rural communities, and veterans. The town hall is open to the public and begins at 5PM.

Democratic voters made their decision, and now it’s time to unite behind our nominee, Chris Backemeyer, and focus on winning in November.

Chris Backemeyer earned the Democratic nomination and is the strongest candidate to defeat Mike Flood, whose continued support for the extreme MAGA agenda is out of step with Nebraska families.

Any effort to divide our coalition working to defeat Mike Flood only increases the likelihood of sending him back to Washington. The Lancaster County Democratic Party is focused on organizing, mobilizing, and delivering real results for Nebraskans.

The choice for change is clear. The united choice is Chris Backemeyer for Congress.

🚨 BIG NEWS! 🚨

New polling shows that our race is in a dead heat and our campaign can beat Mike Flood!

An outside poll from Tavern Research confirms that this district is competitive and we can flip this seat! We've been on the ground, doing the work, and it's paying off. Don't let anyone tell you this race isn't winnable.

But we can't do it alone. If you can chip in or volunteer, now is the time. Links in comments ⬇️

The DNC's 2024 autopsy is out.

It says Democrats need to build the bench, run candidates everywhere, train and retain talent, and stop treating elections as seasonal.

"Build to win. Build to last."

That's not a new idea. That's been NDTC's entire mission since 2016.

The report says Democrats have "enough money to think and act differently." But the training infrastructure? It already exists. It's been here. It works. And it's free.

✅ Trained 128,000+ Democrats across all 50 states
✅ Supported 10,000+ candidates

As a union member myself, I'm honored to have the support of Nebraska State AFL-CIO, whose members help build Nebraska from the ground up.

In Congress, I'll fight to protect workers' right to organize, create more good-paying union jobs right here in the First District, and bring down costs for hardworking families.

It wasn't enough to pardon those who stormed the Capitol on January 6th. Now they could get a taxpayer-funded payout too.

Nebraska families are struggling with high gas prices and grocery bills — while Washington is busy with political retribution and sticking your kids and grandkids with the tab.

This is what unchecked power looks like. And this is exactly why we need to flip this seat.

After yesterday's damaging storms, severe weather risks remain high across Nebraska today — and we all know how quickly conditions can change.

Please take warnings seriously, stay informed, and have a plan. And if you're able to do so safely, take a moment to check on elderly or vulnerable neighbors.

My thoughts are with the first responders and emergency personnel out there keeping Nebraskans safe.

Thank you to everyone who joined us last night at our Election Night Watch Party and to the Nebraska Democratic Party and Nebraska Young Democrats for co-hosting an incredible evening at the The Hub Cafe, with amazing live music from local band: The Algorhythms.

To every candidate who stepped up and every volunteer, organizer, and campaign staffer who poured their time, energy, and heart into this election: thank you. This work matters and it doesn’t stop here.

The stakes are too high to slow down. We have six months to knock more doors, talk to more voters, and build the coalition we need to win on November 3rd.

The work continues. And together, we will win.
