Recent history isn’t on their side, but state Democrats say they are gearing up to win 2nd District and beyond

LINCOLN — In a crowded coworking space on Lincoln’s Y Street this month, 1st Congressional District Democrats gathered to meet their man running against Republican U.S. Rep. Mike Flood.

Congressional candidate Eric Moyer told attendees at his kickoff event that he wants to create a spark.

Nebraska Democrats hope he’s onto something. They want the backlash to the second Trump administration to help them make gains in 2026, as national Democrats attempt to emerge from the political wilderness and address a weaker national brand than President Donald Trump or Republicans.

“Nebraska is special,” Moyer told the crowd. “I believe Nebraska can lead this nation into a better future.”
