Election 2026: Democrat announces bid for Nebraska’s 2nd Congressional District as others consider run
OMAHA, Neb. (WOWT) – We are a year and a half away from ballots being cast in Nebraska’s 2nd Congressional District, and a new name has entered the race.
Rep. Don Bacon (R-Neb.) has held his seat in Congress for four election cycles, but will the Nebraska Republican run again in 2026?
For now, that is up in the air.
“You know, I’ve been married for 41 years right now; but I spent 40 of those years in the Air Force and Congress — and I have eight grandchildren,” Congressman Bacon said Thursday. “So there are the family considerations as well on this.”
But family isn’t the only factor in his decision.
“I am not going to lie to you: The dysfunction does wear on me,” Bacon said. “It’s one thing to fight the other party; but when you have fights in your own party, in Congress, but the Republicans back home.”
Bacon said he does not want to put Republicans behind in the primary process, so he will make a final decision this summer.
In the meantime, a new Democratic contestant entered the field on Thursday: Women Who Run Nebraska co-founder Denise Powell threw her name in the ring.
“This just seems like the time and the need for kind of a regular Nebraskan who is feeling it too, to step in and speak up for our neighbors and our friends who are really scared right now,” Powell said.
Women Who Run Nebraska supports and promotes women of all parties who run for office in the state.
“I think watching those women who come from all walks of life, run and do this big courageous thing, definitely inspires me to feel like maybe I can do this courageous thing too,” Powell tells First Alert 6.
Fellow Democrat John Cavanaugh told First Alert 6 on Thursday that he is also considering a run. However, the state senator says a final decision won’t come until after the legislative session concludes in Lincoln.
“I have got a very strong record; and so because of that, a lot of people have reached out to me and have asked me to consider running,” Cavanaugh said. “So I am thinking about it.”
First Alert 6 asked each potential candidate what issues will be top of mind for voters this time around. Each touched on different topics, but the economy was a common theme among each of them.
“We need to protect Social Security, the VA, Medicaid, Medicare, and we need to make sure that people can afford to buy groceries,” Cavanaugh said. “I have a track record of protecting affordability at the grocery store.”
Powell said she also has her eye on the toll the economy could take on programs Nebraskans rely on.
“I am worried about my parents, and their abilities to access Social Security and Medicaid — and what that is going to mean for my family,” she said. “I just think this is a consistent issue we hear across the board, that people are just worried about their ability to thrive.”
Bacon acknowledged the importance of the economy, but said he’s just as concerned about
“The economy is always going to be the No. 1 issue, good or bad; and right now, we have had a retraction in the economy. I think a lot of people think it’s because of tariffs, but there is a debate about that,” he said. “I think we can surely talk about how the border is better — the border is 95% better than it was under Joe Biden.”
First Alert 6 also reached out to former congressional candidate Tony Vargas. He said Thursday that he will not run again for the Dist. 2 seat, which he lost twice in close races with Bacon.

Donovan Jones Urges Huskers to use Bowl Prep to Set the Tone for Nebraska’s Future
Nebraska football has entered a three-week runway of bowl preparation, and for one of the youngest rosters in the country, it’s a critical window for growth.
Every rep matters, and this month offers the team a chance to reset and respond after a discouraging close to the regular season.
For redshirt freshman cornerback Donovan Jones, it’s a second go-around with bowl prep, but the stakes feel different now. A year removed from using this same stretch to make his own jump, Jones enters December 2025 with starting experience and a much deeper understanding of what these practices can mean for younger players. Meeting with the media earlier this week, he broke down the progress he’s made in his expanded role and outlined what still needs to improve heading into 2026.
With that in mind, here’s everything the up-and-coming cornerback had to say during his time at the mic.
For Jones, bowl preparation has already proven to be more than just extra practice time. After redshirting in 2024, the weeks between the regular season and the bowl game became a turning point in his development, offering a volume of reps that simply weren’t available once the season was underway. With a single game to prepare for and a sharper focus on individual growth, that stretch provided Jones a runway to refine his skills and build confidence across multiple roles in the secondary.
“I’ve told a couple of the younger corners, I was playing both safety and corner during the bowl prep, just getting a whole bunch of reps. And that’s where I made my little jump. And then obviously when I got put in the bowl game, it showed,” Jones said. The versatility he gained during that stretch allowed him to transition more comfortably when his number was called. And 12 months later, Jones has already started 10 games in his collegiate career.
Now, on the other side of that experience, the Omaha native understands the value of the process better than most. Rather than viewing bowl prep as additional work, he sees it as an extension of the season itself and one that younger players can take advantage of, if willing. With a starting role already secured this fall, Jones is approaching this go-around with purpose, hoping the same formula that sparked his initial jump can serve as a springboard towards even more growth in 2026.
While looking forward to his team’s next test, Jones didn’t shy away from addressing Nebraska’s late-season struggles, pointing directly to a lack of physicality as the defining issue in the losses to Penn State and Iowa. For the Huskers, the breakdown wasn’t necessarily schematic. The soon-to-be sophomore said it was about tone. When Nebraska failed to control the line of scrimmage, the results quickly followed.
“We were just getting beat physically. That’s just not how we can be at Nebraska,” Jones said. “We need to be the one beating on people. We need to be the most violent team in the country. We didn’t do that those last two games, and it showed.” The blunt assessment reflects a growing maturity within the underclassmen and a player learning what the standard must look like on a weekly basis.
That mindset has carried into bowl preparation, where physicality has become a focal point rather than an afterthought. From Jones’ words, practices have emphasized a sustained effort from everyone on the field. For a defense trying to find its identity under new leadership, the lessons from November now serve as fuel, reinforcing what Nebraska must become if it expects to take the next step in 2026.
As Nebraska prepares to face Utah, Jones views the bowl game as a measuring stick for how much the team will grow over the next month. With a physical opponent on deck and a national stage awaiting in Las Vegas, the opportunity to respond comes now. For the Blackshirts able to return next fall, it’s a chance to apply the lessons learned late in the season and show tangible growth before turning the page.
For Jones specifically, bowl prep represents another milestone in his development. A year ago, extra reps helped kickstart his rise. Now, with a full season of starting experience behind him, he’s entering this stretch with clearer expectations of what it takes to play at a high level in the Big Ten. The focus is no longer on earning opportunities, but maximizing them.
That progression mirrors Nebraska’s trajectory as a program. With a young roster, new leadership across the staff, and an offseason ahead filled with competition, moments like these carry added weight. How the Huskers finish will help shape the foundation for 2026. And for players like Jones, the bowl game serves as both a test and a preview of what’s to come.
