Nebraskans can’t get a meeting with our congresspeople right now — so on March 15, Governor Tim Walz came to Omaha to lend a megaphone and make sure Washington hears how Trump’s agenda is hurting everyone from farmers to teachers to veterans. While Republicans hole up in Washington so they don’t have to answer to the American people for their reckless policy decisions, Democrats are hitting the road across Nebraska, sharing your stories, and forcing our congressmen to listen.
Republicans can hide behind their fancy desks and cushy congressional benefits all they want. In the meantime, we’ll be making sure that Nebraskans know every single member of our congressional delegation voted for massive cuts to key public services, they voted to make it harder for our veterans to talk to the VA by cutting 70,000 employees (who also happen to be veterans!), and they stood by while Trump all but handed Elon Musk the keys to the White House.

Almost a Town Hall - (dis)Honorable Mentions for Don Bacon and Adrian Smith
On March 25, Don held a “tele town hall” where constituents could call in and listen to him pivot and make excuses. Don at least gave people the opportunity to call in and be muted.
The next day Adrian Smith surprised his constituents with a “town hall” by cold-calling people from a number that is flagged as “possible spam” and filtered by many phones.
These muted town halls are a sorry substitute for actual interactions with their constituents.
April 2 People's Town Hall in York, NE
Our gathering of nearly 50 people in York Nebraska included conversations about the impacts of the Trump administration on farmers and how to communicate with our conservative neighbors. York County Democrats are a growing and active group and would love to have those nearby join them in their events.
