OMAHA - Nebraska Rep. Don Bacon has officially filed for reelection to continue representing Omaha’s 2nd District.
The Republican tweeted photos of himself signing the necessary paperwork next to Nebraska Secretary of State Robert Evnen.
“Today we made it official that I am seeking to continue serving the constituents of the 2nd Congressional District of Nebraska,“ Bacon said in a statement. “We have a strong team and group of volunteers who are already connecting with people across all three counties in our district.”
Bacon will be seeking his fourth term in Congress. Bacon defeated one-term Democratic Rep. Brad Ashford in 2016 and has been reelected twice by narrow margins.
Two Democrats, State Sen. Tony Vargas and Alisha Shelton, have both jumped into the race.
Rep. Bacon received support from GOP figures as well as the community upon his announcement.
His opposition came from former President Trump saying, "Anyone want to run for congress against Don Bacon in Nebraska?"
Trump's disapproval comes as a result of Rep. Bacon voting for President Bidens Infrastructure Bill.
