I know I was going to take a break, but this is huge new. [View all]

Omaha has a new Mayor. John Ewing Jr. not only upset the outgoing Mayor, he won by about 11 points. Jean Stothert had been mayor for 3 straight terms.

Ewing is the 1st African American to mayor in the history of Omaha. People were fed up with Stothert’s leadership and lack of accountability. Ewing was the Douglas County Treasurer for many years.

Gov. Pilen(R) was disappointed that more republicans didn’t get out and vote. But says that he will work with Omaha’s newly elected mayor.

Omaha is turning Blue and just maybe the state will follow?

I’m sign off now to go be with our family.
