Primary Election
May 10, 2022
U.S. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES (
Lancaster County’s blue dot streak continues in the November 3, 2020 election. A New York Times article (December 7, 2020), listed Lincoln’s metro area as one of the largest swings from 2016 to 2020. Lancaster County gave Joe Biden
and Kamala Harris 52.8% of the vote. We are proud that, in the midst of a deeply red state, Lancaster County stands for Democratic values. State Sen. Kate Bolz came up short in her bid to prevent a ninth term for Rep.
Jeff Fortenberry to Nebraska's First Congressional District. Bolz ran a
competitive campaign during the pandemic and engaged new volunteers and
supporters who were tired of seeing the incumbent vote to take their
healthcare.
Congratulations to Anna Wishart and Eliot Bostar

Yoakum (County Board of Commissioners), Mary Harding (Nebraska Public Power
District), Mike DeKalb, Gary Aldridge, John Yoakum, Chelsea Johnson, Christine
