Omaha, Neb. – Earlier today, Rep. Don Bacon announced that he would seek re-election to represent Nebraska’s Second Congressional District.
State Senator Tony Vargas, who is running against Bacon, issued the following statement:
“Don Bacon has proven that he's out of touch with hardworking Nebraskans by falling in line again and again with Washington politicians and backing a nationwide ban on abortion with no exceptions, voting against bringing good manufacturing jobs to Nebraska, against lowering prescription drug costs, and calling to cut Social Security benefits and raise the retirement age for seniors. Nebraskans deserve a leader who will always put them first, who will work to get rising costs under control, and continue to grow our economy. That’s why I’m running for Congress.”
