“It’s time to bring some common sense and basic human decency back to D.C.”
Omaha, NE – It’s been one year since Donald Trump was sworn in as President and, as NE-02 frontrunner candidate Denise Powell points out, America is no safer, stronger, or more financially secure.
In a post to Instagram today, Powell takes Trump to task:
“Trump’s tariffs have caused Nebraska families to pay an average of $1,500 per year more and we’re shouldering 96% of the burden of these disastrous policies. Put simply: people are getting hosed. And on top of that we have ICE running lawless in the streets, shooting a mother in the face and pepper spraying and shooting rubber bullets at anyone else that happens to be around. They’re pulling grandpas and teenagers out of their homes and their workplaces and dragging them through the cold streets. Trump attacked Venezuela for oil money and now he’s talking about invading Greenland and alienating us from all of our European allies. This simply must stop. I’m ready to go to Washington and fight for Nebraskans – let’s keep up the fight to bring some common sense and basic human decency back to D.C.”
About Denise
Denise Powell is a mom, former executive, small business owner, public school champion and healthcare advocate who knows that a strong work ethic and a love of family and community is the Nebraska way of life. She also knows the Good Life is getting harder to come by. It’s why after Trump’s election she left a successful career in corporate America to focus on fighting for what makes Nebraska such a special place to live and raise a family. Over the past decade, she has supported hundreds of Nebraskans running for local office, protected our public schools and the families they serve, and helped stop extremists from passing abortion bans in the state.
Every day, we see more of our friends and neighbors struggling to make ends meet while Donald Trump and MAGA extremists are focused on trade wars that are increasing our cost of living and passing massive tax breaks for billionaires like Elon Musk. Strong families, strong businesses, strong communities – they ALL require work and investment, but everything we’ve fought for here at home is under threat. From dismantling Medicaid and making it harder for seniors to get the benefits they’ve earned, to dismantling education, from the University of Nebraska to our public schools, to attacking our veterans and ripping away women’s rights — Denise is running to fight for the people of Nebraska. We don’t need lip service from politicians, we need action.
