Statement on Douglas County Ballot Count, Two Additional Races Confirmed, and Further Breaking the Republican Supermajority
LINCOLN, NE – The Nebraska Democratic Party Chair and ASDC President Jane Kleeb issues the following statement after a count of remaining ballots in Douglas County and the calling of two additional legislative races in Democrats’ favor, further breaking the Republican supermajority in the Unicameral:
“With today’s ballot count in Douglas County, Jess Goldoni for Legislative District 18 and Cindy Maxwell-Ostdiek for Legislative District 4 have officially won their legislative races. We thank both state senator-elect Goldoni and Maxwell-Ostdiek for running excellent campaigns with messages that connected with voters across party lines. They will join 10 new and returning state senators in the Unicameral, building a strong firewall of 19 total Democratic and Independent representatives.
This tremendous group of state senators will ensure that the Unicameral focuses on kitchen-table issues, not culture wars. We need lower property taxes, not empty promises by Jim Pillen.”
