Hi there, John! My name is Denise Powell, and I’m the Democrat running to flip Nebraska’s 2nd Congressional District. This is a highly competitive race that my opponent Don Bacon won by less than 2 points in 2024. In fact, NE-02 is one of the few districts where both Kamala Harris and a Republican Congressman won.

The path to a Democratic majority in Congress runs through NE-02, but we have to start now. Want to be a part of this groundswell movement to flip this district from red to blue? Split a donation between Blue Amp Action and my campaign now:

Here’s what you should know about me: I’m a mom to two kids (and two dogs!), a small business owner, and an active community leader. 

That’s why, after Donald Trump was elected, I worked to organize our community around electing everyday, common sense candidates up and down the ballot through the organization I co-founded, Women Who Run.

But our neighbors are struggling to make ends meet right now and there’s no relief in sight. Donald Trump and unelected billionaire Elon Musk are causing costs to skyrocket, and we’re all feeling the pain at the grocery store, gas station and everywhere else. 

They’re tearing apart the Department of Education, slashing critical federal programs, and threatening Social Security and Medicaid…all to create more tax loopholes for billionaires. 

And where is Congressman Don Bacon? He says one thing to the news cameras and then goes to D.C. and votes against our best interests time and time again. His time is up, and I’m running for Congress now because enough is enough!

Now is when it counts, so if you want to be one of my founding supporters, I’d be so grateful! Just $10, $20, or whatever you can give would help contribute to this powerful momentum to flip NE-02. Split a donation between myself and Blue Amp Action:

John, I have a long track record of fighting tough fights.  

When Nebraska public schools were under threat I worked with parents, teachers, and organizers to protect and keep taxpayer money in our public schools.

When extremists tried to pass a total abortion ban in my state, I organized physicians, patients, and community members to help successfully stop it.

With your support, I’ll take your stories and perspectives to Congress and fight for you, just like I’ve been fighting for my neighbors for over fifteen years.

My husband and I made up a Powell Family Pledge when our kids were little: “I promise to always be brave, tell the truth, never give up, and be kind to others.” 

Our country’s future is hanging in the balance and the world is an uncertain place for so many. Now is the time to step up and do something about it. Now is the time to be brave.

Will you donate any amount to Blue Amp Action and my campaign to help me flip NE-02 blue, fire Don Bacon, and get to work fighting for everyone as your next Congresswoman?

Thank you!

Denise

About Blue Amp Action:

We cannot sugarcoat the current situation. Right-wing authoritarianism, defeated by a worldwide coalition during WWII, was only in hibernation. Over the past decade it has infected democratic societies--including ours. It is as simple as it is terrifying: What we do now will define the future of our country and world. 

We at Blue Amp Action are dedicated to liberal, open societies, where reason and science are applied to solve our problems; where civil rights--including voting rights!--are protected for all. We fight for these values every day. Speaking up on our platforms, raising the voices and the political prospects of liberal pols and pundits. 

And savvy grassroots activists like you know, just like we do, that we can’t stop watching the people we help elect: after the elections, we have to keep organizing support for the policies we like and pushing back against the ones we don’t.

When the public tunes out between elections and the only people our elected officials hear from are the paid lobbyists of wealthy corporations, our government stops being accountable to the needs of ordinary families.

Democracy never sleeps, and neither can we.

So we ask that you support our work, so we can continue to engage in this fight every moment of every day. So our kids grow up in democracy, not dystopia.

Thank you for your support for all we do!
