It was magical casting that ballot for a presidential ticket that includes the first woman of color elected to the office of vice president.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now, little girls who look like me will have a representation that looks like us. When I say looks like us we now have the first woman, and woman of color as the Vice President of the United States. Kamala Harris represents all women.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nebraska and Maine are the only states to award electoral votes based on the winner of each congressional district. Nebraska\u2019s Omaha-centric Second Congressional District delivered that\u00a0 for Biden-Harris. The only other time a Democrat won the CD2 electoral vote was in 2008, when then-Sen. Barack Obama, with Biden as his running mate, won the district\u2019s \u201cBlue Dot\u201d\u00a0 on their way to the White House.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Our communities of color were key to the Biden-Harris electoral vote victory, most notably in building the solid 23,092-vote margin &#8212; the core of which came from the largely Black North Omaha and largely Latino South Omaha.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After four years of hateful rhetoric and power grabs by Trump and his GOP enablers, Democrats across the country came together this year to elect Joe Biden and Kamala Harris.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In Nebraska, we shattered all records. According to Dave Wasserman of the Cook Political Report, Nebraska\u2019s CD2 \u201cswung against Trump more than any swing state.\u201d\u00a0 <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2020\/12\/07\/upshot\/trump-election-vote-shift.html?smid=tw-nytimes&amp;smtyp=cur\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The swing was 8.8 points<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, as the district flipped from red to blue.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And those results demonstrate that the message got to the right people in terms of conducting a winning campaign. We showed people that their voice mattered.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">My only regret was that my grandmother, who passed away in June 2008, was not here to witness this. My grandmother instilled the values of hard work in me. She never gave up even though times got tough.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Taylor, my 16-year-old daughter, is pursuing college scholarship opportunities now. I&#8217;m hoping she<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> will choose Howard University<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in Washington, D.C. &#8212; Harris&#8217; alma mater.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We have made strides &#8212; this includes our national Democratic Party and our Nebraska Democratic Party. From our Candidates of Color Fund and LaMere Grassroots Fellows, we are making conscious choices to fund programs that reach urban and rural communities of color.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But as the late Frank LaMere, a member of the Winnebago Tribe of Nebraska and the NDP\u2019s first associate chair, often said: \u201cThere is more work to do.\u201d We must continue the work to allow everyone to have a seat at the table, and a voice.
