Ann Ashford argues she will be accountable to Nebraskans, not out-of-state interests. Kara Eastman argues she needs to be able to raise money everywhere to compete with U.S. Rep. Don Bacon.

Ashford appears poised to spend more on television than the favorite in the Democratic Party primary, 2018 nominee Kara Eastman.

The Democratic primary features no experienced front-runner. Few of the candidates have run for elected office before, and no one has raised enough money to counter  Sasse's cash-flush campaign in November.

Chairwoman Crystal Rhoades has been in a long-running feud with the head of the state Democratic Party. She said she decided not to run to focus on new responsibilities involving her position on the Nebraska Public Service Commission, including serving on a national rural broadband task force.

State Sen. Kate Bolz of Lincoln is the clear favorite in the May 12 Democratic primary. Bolz holds a heavy advantage in fundraising and name recognition over her primary opponent, first-time candidate Barbara Ramsey of Bellevue.

In the 2020 race, Kara Eastman talks differently about her progressive policies. For example, she uses the term “Medicare for all” less often — even though she remains steadfast in her support of Congress' most expansive version of the proposal.

Ann Ashford argues she's the one Democrat who can beat Republican Don Bacon in November and realistically pass a plan for universal health care.

“I can tell you from what I lived,” restaurant owner Gladys Harrison said, “how the things we do poorly in this country on a federal level, how they affect people. I can tell you because I’m living it.”

The former college president spoke like the confident smart kid in class. People listened to “the senator from National Review,” a high-brow conservative magazine that featured him often.

The ad focuses on her electability and pragmatism, featuring endorsements from former Nebraska governors and U.S. Sens. Bob Kerrey and Ben Nelson and from former Lt. Gov. Kim Robak.

Thousands of Nebraskans will head to the polls on May 12 after weeks of being told by public health officials to stay home from work, school and church.

Eastman raised $281,000 in the first quarter of 2020, an edge in campaign cash that helped her air television ads a week ahead of her closest opponent, Omaha lawyer Ann Ashford. Eastman, a former nonprofit executive, lists $138,000 cash on hand.

Warren, who earned the third most delegates in the 2020 Democratic presidential primary before dropping out last month, encouraged 2nd District voters to embrace Eastman as an agent of change.

Her ads, the first in the Democratic primary for the 2nd Congressional District, take aim at incumbent Republican Rep. Don Bacon.

Don Bacon's Democratic challengers say they plan to make Bacon's unflinching support for Trump, before and during the impeachment fight, an issue during the 2020 campaign.

Social distance in lines. No shared pencils or pens. And maybe you won't get a sticker.

State Sen. Ernie Chambers, 82, who has served in the Legislature for 46 years, is prevented from seeking reelection due to term limits.

People are bringing more critters to Nebraska Wildlife Rehab amid the coronavirus, the Tuesday primary will be different than what you're used to, and more news to start your day.

While fellow Democrat Ann Ashford declined to endorse primary winner Kara Eastman on Wednesday, others said the party will pull together in the general election campaign against Republican congressman Don Bacon for the Omaha-area House seat.
