WASHINGTON, D.C. — Today EMILYs List congratulates Denise Powell on her impressive win in Nebraska’s 2nd Congressional District primary election. EMILYs List President Jessica Mackler released the following statement: 

“Congratulations to Denise Powell on her decisive primary victory in Nebraska’s 2nd Congressional District. Tonight’s result sends a clear message: Nebraska voters want bold, authentic leaders who will fight for families, protect Nebraska’s Blue Dot, and stand up to Trump’s dangerous agenda. EMILYs List has proudly stood with Denise throughout this primary, and we’re excited to continue working alongside her to flip this seat and help secure a Democratic House majority.”
