Brinker Harding Announces Bid for Bacon's House Seat
Omaha City Councilman Brinker Harding has announced his candidacy for Nebraska’s 2nd Congressional District, seeking to replace Republican Rep. Don Bacon, who will not run for re-election in 2026 after nearly a decade in Congress and a distinguished military career. Harding, a Republican and Omaha City Council member since 2017, is the first from his party to enter the race, which already includes Democratic candidates Denise Powell and State Sen. John Cavanaugh. He has received endorsements from prominent Nebraska Republicans, including U.S. Sen. Deb Fischer. Harding's campaign focuses on making America more like its heartland and ushering in a 'new golden age.' The district is considered competitive due to its swing status. Bacon, known for backing U.S. aid to Ukraine, expressed gratitude for his service and plans to spend more time with family after leaving Congress.
