About Nebraska’s 2nd congressional district in brief
Nebraska’s 2nd congressional district is a congressional district in the U.S. state of Nebraska that encompasses the core of the Omaha–Council Bluffs metropolitan area. It has been represented in the United States House of Representatives since 2017 by Don Bacon, a member of the Republican Party. The district is known as a swing district; it was one of six districts with a margin of less than 5% in all four elections after the 2010 Census.
In 2011, Nebraska lawmakers changed the district to excise Offutt Air Force Base and the city of Bellevue — an area with a large minority population — and moved the borders to include the Republican-heavy Omaha suburbs in Sarpy County. The move was expected to dilute the city’s urban Democratic vote, which Democrats criticized as gerrymandering.
