OMAHA- On Wednesday, a new Omaha-based coalition, titled Nebraska For Us, held its official launch, stating that its objective is to spotlight and promote awareness of economic issues and federal legislation affecting residents of Nebraska's 2nd Congressional District. "Nebraskans are struggling, and it's clear that vital programs many of our working class and middle-income neighbors count on are under constant threat," said Angie Lauritsen, a former elected official who has worked with various local issue campaigns.

Collin Adler Ruane, communications director of the coalition, said in an interview that the group is not affiliated with a political party, and does not plan to expressly support or oppose a candidate. But, said Adler Ruane, because U.S. Rep. Don Bacon currently represents the district, the coalition believes it is important to share citizens' messages and testimony with him.

The group has not yet reached out to Bacon, according to Adler Ruane, stating that the group is still in its early stages. However, Rep. Bacon responded to its formation: "Nebraskans know I work hard for them and our country. Unfortunately, Americans are paying more for food, energy, and services because of the disastrous effects of Pres. Biden's policies."
