The Mission
Our Purpose
Red State Nebraska aims to ensure that every eligible voter in Nebraska’s 2nd Congressional District (CD2) is informed, engaged, and motivated to cast their ballot for our Republican candidates.
Nebraska’s 2nd Congressional District is historically competitive, especially in the Omaha area. It is a key target for Democrats, who aim to secure one of Nebraska’s electoral votes for the Presidency. Therefore, it is crucial that we engage, educate and motivate voters to support our conservative candidates.
