OMAHA- Tracy Hightower-Henne, an Omaha-based lawyer and managing partner at Hightower Reff Law, announced over the weekend that she will be running for Nebraska Legislative District 13, a seat currently held by Sen. Justin Wayne. According to Hightower-Henne's website, she will continue Sen. Wayne's work to strengthen the community through investing in public schools, creating better-paying jobs, and keeping the cost of affordable housing low.

"We are at a critical junction in our state's history. It's time for new leaders to step up and fight for the future of our communities and our neighbors," said Hightower-Henne, "to ensure that every Nebraskan has the opportunity to thrive and experience equality before the law." With a successful career in law, Hightower-Henne brings a wealth of experience and knowledge to the table.

In the past, Hightower-Henne acted as an advocate for reproductive freedom and equal access to justice, and is expected to continue supporting these ideals in the Legislature. She also previously worked at the Nebraska Innocence Project, which, according to her website, opened her eyes to the opportunities available to assist people in her community who needed legal representation.
