Dark Money Denise Powell has spent more of her life in Miami and Los Angeles than she has in Omaha. She is an out-of-state, out-of-touch progressive activist trying to buy a House seat in Nebraska. For the last two months, Dark Money Denise has flooded our airwaves and filled our mailboxes with fear, negativity, and division. I am actually from Nebraska—and I’m running for Congress with a patriotic and optimistic vision of growing our economy and making Washington more accountable for everyday Nebraskans. We look forward to building a broad coalition of Nebraskans—Republicans, Democrats, and Independents alike—to win this seat and represent our community in the United States Congress.

Affordability starts at the gas pump. Nebraska corn powers E15, but outdated EPA rules block year-round use. It's time for a permanent fix, not another band-aid.

Record-low crime. Host of the Greatest Show on Dirt. What’s not to like about Omaha?

Loved talking about it all on @clayandbuck last week. Thanks for having me!

[Brinker Harding @BrinkerHarding]

Our team had an incredible time walking in the Elkhorn Days Parade today and talking with members of the community. One theme we heard again and again was concern about the growing division in our politics and a desire for stronger communities and more connection. That’s something we need to focus on more across our country, and I look forward to hearing from even more voices as this campaign continues!

[Brinker Harding @BrinkerHarding]

Today, we reflect on the generations of American service members who made the ultimate sacrifice for our nation and its ideals. We remember them with honor, gratitude, and pride.

[Brinker Harding @BrinkerHarding]

Our team had an amazing time at the Cinco de Mayo parade in South Omaha this morning! It was great talking to so many people and hearing what they love about Omaha — something we don’t talk about nearly enough.

[Brinker Harding @BrinkerHarding]

I’m honored to receive the official endorsement of Turning Point Action.

While we continue to reflect on the incredible legacy of Charlie Kirk, we are more inspired than ever by his mission to empower young Americans and fight for the heart of our country.

Turning Point Action’s commitment to Nebraska and the next generation is strong — built on relationships with leaders of the State and Local Party.

We look forward to working together to win #NE02, hold the GOP House Majority, and advance the cause of freedom. @tpaction

Dark Money Denise Powell is an out-of-state and out-of-touch progressive activist who has spent the last year campaigning on being a pissed off mom, Blue Dot inside baseball, defunding law enforcement, and waving a passport around to fear monger that American citizens like herself are at risk of being deported.

She says she wants to get Dark Money out of politics, but she gave specific instructions on how Dark Money Dollars should be spent on her behalf from her campaign website. Now, on the backs of nearly $6 million in Dark Money Dollars buying her primary
victory over John Cavanaugh, Denise wants to pivot and pretend she cares about affordability and pocketbook issues. That’s how out-of-touch Dark Money Denise is.

Thankfully, Nebraskans have another choice for Congress. I am actually from Nebraska, and I have been focused on growing the American economy and making life more affordable since we launched this campaign on July 1st last year.

[Aaron Sanderford @asanderford]

Powell said she will focus on what she heard from people in all walks of life, the importance of making life more affordable. She said she would emphasize short-term fixes and long-term changes, including reasserting that Congress and not the president control tariff authority.

Congratulations to @BrinkerHarding on being nominated in the #NE02 Republican primary! I look forward to working together to defend and grow the majority in November. 🇺🇸

[Brinker Harding @BrinkerHarding]

What an incredible night! Thank you to our volunteers, supporters, family, and everyone across NE-02 who helped make this campaign possible. We’re proud of the team and momentum we’ve built together, and we’re ready to keep fighting for our values as we head toward November.

Former Mayor and U.S. Rep. Hal Daub says of Omaha City Councilman Brinker Harding:

“I know a thing or two about what it takes to be a member of the United States House of Representatives. … The idea that I’m asking you to embrace tonight is Brinker Harding as our nominee has the elective public service experience and a real record to talk about.”

[Brinker Harding @BrinkerHarding]

Team Brinker is out across the district this morning waving signs and getting voters energized for Election Day. Thank you to everyone volunteering their time today and helping us spread our message across NE-02.

[Brinker Harding @BrinkerHarding]

Election Day is here! I voted this morning, and now I’m asking supporters across NE-02 to get to the polls today. We’ve knocked the doors, made the calls, and traveled across the district listening to voters — now it’s time to finish strong and support candidates up and down the ballot.

[Brinker Harding @BrinkerHarding]

Election Day is tomorrow! 314 days ago, we launched this campaign with a vision to Restore, Grow, Secure, and Renew America.

Your voice matters. Polls are open from 8AM–8PM. Make your plan to vote and help shape the future of our community and country.

[Brinker Harding @BrinkerHarding]

Happy Mother’s Day to my wife Rebecca, an incredible mother to our two daughters. Wishing all the wonderful mothers out there a very happy Mother’s Day!

The average first-time homebuyer is now 40 years old — up from 33 years old in 2021. It's time to cut regulatory red tape, increase housing incentives, and make homeownership possible for young Americans again.

[Brinker Harding @BrinkerHarding]

I’m deeply thankful for the sacrifice and service of our law enforcement officers who put their lives on the line everyday to protect us. Praying for strength, healing, and a quick recovery for the injured @DCSheriffNE deputy.

[KETV NewsWatch 7 @KETV]

A deputy was injured and the suspect was killed in a "gun battle," Douglas County Sheriff Aaron Hanson said.

[Brinker Harding @BrinkerHarding]

Throughout this campaign, we've knocked thousands of doors and listened to thousands of voices across NE-02. Issues like affordability and accountability are on everyone's mind. I'll keep showing up at doors, listening, and fighting to secure a strong next 250 years for our country.

[Brinker Harding @BrinkerHarding]

After years of inaction from career politicians, one thing is clear: we need common sense term limits now. Government should serve the people—not those who turn public service into a lifetime career.
