Earlier today, Donald Trump announced that Kristi Noem would no longer lead the Department of Homeland Security.
Denise Powell issued this statement in response:
”On January 10th, I called for the impeachment of DHS Secretary Kristi Noem for her failure of leadership, abuse of power, and complicity in allowing ICE agents to terrorize our communities. While her removal today doesn’t bring justice to the families of those killed, injured, or illegally detained by her agents, it is an important first step towards the accountability and real reforms that we must continue to fight for. No one is above the law, and we can never allow injustice and corruption to go unchecked.”
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. 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.
