UPDATES are John and Marks letters in the replies below.

The Cook Political Report calls the race in the 2nd District a toss up, making it a likely candidate for big spending as the GOP attempts to maintain or bolster its one-seat majority, and Democrats try to take back control.

Denise is one of at least 6 Democrats that will be running in the primary next May. The DU is neutral in all races between Democrats. That said, here are the three DU ActBlue links we have so far for the NE-2 primary Blue Dot race.

1. This is a pretty big deal.

I don't know much about the candidates as I don't live in Omaha anymore or even have family there anymore, but I do know that the Cavanaugh name is pretty well known there.
