John Cavanaugh For Congress

State Senator for Midtown Omaha, running for Congress in #NE02 to stand up for all of us and stand up to Trump.

[John Cavanaugh For Congress @JCavNE02]

I'm running for Congress because the people of Nebraska deserve a representative who will stand up for working families, stand up for veterans and seniors, and stand up to Donald Trump and his billionaire buddies.

While the result of the NE-02 primary wasn't what we hoped, I want to thank everyone who has made this campaign possible – over 100 volunteers, 13+ labor unions, hardworking Nebraskans who powered this campaign, and my family – especially my wife Kakie, who is the rock of our family.

Now that all of the votes have been counted, I’ve called Denise Powell and congratulated her.

Thank you to everyone who has been a part of this campaign.

[John Cavanaugh For Congress @JCavNE02]

Thank you @jamie_raskin for coming to Omaha and for your support. 3 more days -- let's win this!

[Jamie Raskin @jamie_raskin]

John Cavanaugh is a shrewd fighter for the common good, and he will be a key voice and key vote in Congress to uphold strong democracy and freedom, to promote healthcare for our people and to confront the Trump affordability crisis. This is an essential district for winning back the House in 2026, so let’s keep campaigning for @JCavNE02 with everything we’ve got.

In @PunchbowlNews Midday: Is the GOP meddling in Dem primaries in #PA07 + #NE02???

A *very* mysterious new group, Lead Left PAC, began running ads today in Philly + Omaha.

A THREAD on my rabbit hole to figure out who is behind this >> 🧵🧵🧵

"Democratic Majority for Israel hastily got out of the Second District race after realizing the beneficiary of its spending had disavowed the group. It’s back under a different name."

Nebraska voters deserve to know who is funding all of these dark money ads that continue to lie to voters.

My opponent was caught lying about AIPAC and Trump-backed groups laundering money to attack my campaign.

Special interests know I’m not for sale. In Congress, I’ll actually stand up to the billionaires and big corporations that are making life harder for us.

Today, Trump’s Supreme Court gutted Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act of 1965, a landmark civil rights law that granted racial equality in our elections. The consequence of this decision will be a sharp decline in minority representation in our politics, which is harmful for our democracy. We should be making it easier for equitable representation for Black and brown voters, not harder. This is a disgrace.

[John Cavanaugh For Congress @JCavNE02]

AIPAC aligned groups that are funded by Trump donors are now supporting Denise Powell. She said that she would refuse support from Democratic Majority for Israel or AIPAC, and now dark money groups are pouring millions into the Democratic primary here in NE-02 – and trying to hide it. Voters deserve to know which out-of-state groups are funding these misleading attacks.

My Democratic colleagues in the legislature and I know that we don’t have to choose between standing up to Trump or standing up to Pillen. I’m grateful to have the support of @SenMcKinneyLD11 @senatorspivey @George4NE @senatormachaela @SenConrad.

[John Cavanaugh For Congress @JCavNE02]

This is a new low even for Trump, and this came on Easter of all days. Our brave troops deserve so much better. https://t.co/A9dMRjg9Ka

Ad campaign linking Cavanaugh and Trump decried as deceptive by candidate, voters https://t.co/OBSty785BF

[John Cavanaugh For Congress @JCavNE02]

Republicans know that after we win the primary on May 12, we'll flip this seat blue in November and help Democrats take back the House.

To keep us from winning, a Republican dark money group is sending mail meant to confuse Democratic primary voters. Don't fall for the lies.

A Republican-backed ad is turning heads in the Democratic Party's primary race for Nebraska's 2nd Congressional District.

Trump has gutted our healthcare and made everything more expensive, all while giving tax breaks to his billionaire donors.

Nebraskans need someone in Congress who will actually fight back.

[John Cavanaugh For Congress @JCavNE02]

Republicans are meddling in the #NE02 primary because they know our campaign will beat Brinker Harding in November if we win on May 12.

I’m running for Congress to fight the Trump agenda. Dark money Super PACs are trying to buy this election -- don’t buy their lies.

[John Cavanaugh For Congress @JCavNE02]

The @NE_AFLCIO represents over 20,000 working people across the state who are members of over 100 affiliated labor unions. I'm proud to earn their endorsement -- labor is essential in the fight against Trump.

[John Cavanaugh For Congress @JCavNE02]

My bill to protect medical professionals who recommend medical cannabis advanced first round debate on a 30-7 vote yesterday.

There's more work to do but I'm grateful to my colleagues from both sides of the aisle who voted to move this forward.

[John Cavanaugh For Congress @JCavNE02]

I’ll always prioritize protecting service members and lowering costs for Nebraskans.

Democrats can’t win without the backing of labor and I’m proud to have the Iron Workers Local 21 on our team.

Let’s flip this seat, lower costs for families, and stand up to Trump’s attacks on workers.

[John Cavanaugh For Congress @JCavNE02]

I’m horrified by the acts of violence we are seeing against Jewish Americans. Everybody has the right to worship in safety and security and while I’m thankful the gunman didn’t make it inside, violence like this shakes entire communities -- my thoughts are with West Bloomfield.

[NRDC Action Fund @NRDC_Action]

We’re proud to support @JCavNE02 for Congress. While Trump hands fossil fuel executives one giveaway after another, John is fighting to lower energy costs and protect clean air and water—that’s exactly the kind of leadership we need in Congress.

[John Cavanaugh For Congress @JCavNE02]

First ads of the race!

You'll start to see our campaign’s first TV ads on screens across #NE02 this week.

We're going to flip this seat, take back the House, and stop Trump's chaos and corruption.
