Democratic groups announce six-figure ad buy in Nebraska swing district
By John Bowden - 10/28/20 12:35 PM EDT
Two Democratic-aligned groups on Wednesday announced a six-figure ad buy in support of Kara Eastman, the Democrat running against Rep. Don Bacon (R-Neb.).
The Progressive Change Campaign Committee (PCCC) and Rebellion PAC said in a joint press release that they would spend $100,000 initially on an ad running across a range of Nebraska television stations accusing Bacon of "putting us all at risk" by voting against coronavirus stimulus packages, though he did support the CARES Act earlier this year.
“Progressive ideas like Medicare For All and bold COVID relief for workers and businesses can win everywhere, and we are investing heavily in Kara Eastman because she’s proving that these ideas are popular as she faces an out-of-touch opponent,†said PCCC co-founder Adam Green. “Nebraska’s 2nd Congressional District might just decide who wins the presidential race, so getting out every last possible vote for Kara Eastman also could help replace Donald Trump with Joe Biden as president.â€
Nebraska's 2nd Congressional District encompasses the city of Omaha and some of the surrounding suburbs and was the site of a campaign rally for President Trump on Tuesday that drew a crowd estimated to be around 29,000. The district voted for Trump over Hillary Clinton 47 to 45 percent in 2016.
