OMAHA — Two men who have each won multiple elections in Nebraska will face off this fall in Nebraska's 2nd Congressional District.

Republican Rep. Don Bacon is seeking his fourth term in Congress. His opponent, state Sen. Tony Vargas, has served on the Omaha Public Schools board and has been elected to the Nebraska Legislature twice.

Both candidates are touting their ability to reach across the aisle to pass legislation. The two lawmakers have long voting records for voters and each other to dissect and analyze in the coming months.

The May 10 primary election results have pitted the two against each other with both taking aim at one another in recent statements.

Bacon said Vargas would be "a rubber stamp for Speaker (Nancy) Pelosi and President (Joe) Biden."

Vargas said Congress isn't working for Nebraska families and votes from Bacon are making it harder for families to get by.

A Creighton University political science professor, Richard Witmer, said the 2nd District will likely be the most competitive race on Nebraska's general election ballot.

Many races in the 2nd District have been competitive despite Republicans having held the 2nd District for 34 of the past 42 years, giving Bacon an advantage.
