Democrat Denise Powell is projected to win the Democratic primary for Nebraska’s 2nd Congressional District, according to Decision Desk HQ.
The primary victory positions Powell for a November contest against Republican candidate Mike Harding, as she seeks to succeed retiring Rep. Don Bacon.
Powell, a political fundraiser, defeated State Sen. John Cavanaugh, a member of a prominent Democratic family, in Tuesday’s primary.
The district is considered a key battleground in this year’s midterm elections, with both parties vying to secure the seat. The general election is scheduled for November.
