Omaha mayoral candidates rally support in South Omaha ahead of Election Day
The mayoral election is just 16 days away, and both candidates — incumbent Omaha Mayor Jean Stothert and Douglas County Treasurer John Ewing Jr. — are making their rounds across the city. On Saturday, both made campaign stops in South Omaha.
Mayor Stothert (R) met with neighbors in the South Omaha business district, sharing her vision for the city's future.
"My number one responsibility is keeping you all safe— the second one is managing the budget keep taxes as low as we can afford to live here as economic development and jobs, we wanna make sure we have enough high paying good jobs all over Omaha and the last one is improving the tax paper experience," said Stothert.....
Just an hour and a half later, John Ewing Jr. (D) spoke to a nearby crowd, focusing on economic development, jobs, public transit, and affordable housing — especially in North and South Omaha.
"We have far too many people that are living in substandard places like city view, former legacy crossings, OHA and places like that— that are not fit for human habitation we can do better than that," said Ewing.
