OMAHA- Rep. Don Bacon and State Sen. Tony Vargas have agreed to two debates in October as the two compete to represent Nebraska’s 2nd Congressional District.

Baco and Vargas will first meet on October 13 at a debate by WOWT and the League of Women Voters. The second debate, sponsored by KETV, will be on Oct. 16.

Bacon is seeking his fourth term in Congress. Vargas has served on the Omaha Public Schools board and has twice been elected to the Nebraska Legislature.

The 2nd District includes all of Douglas County, including Omaha, as well as Saunders County and western Sarpy County.

“Voters have a clear choice in this election, and I look forward to pointing out the stark differences between me and my opponent in the upcoming debates,” Vargas said in a statement.

In a press release, Bacon thanked the hosts for sponsoring the debates and said he looked forward to highlighting his accomplishments “and why I will fight for Nebraskans to keep more of their hard-earned money.”
