WASHINGTON, DC – Today, Elect Democratic Women (EDW), the Congressional Member-led committee dedicated to electing Democratic women to Congress, announced its endorsement of Denise Powell for Nebraska’s 2nd Congressional District.
“Denise Powell is the kind of leader we need in Congress,” said Congresswoman Lois Frankel, Chair of Elect Democratic Women. “A mom, small business owner, and longtime advocate for public education and affordable health care, Denise has spent her career fighting for her community to have the resources and opportunities needed to succeed. She brings integrity, energy, and a results-driven approach to leadership, and Elect Democratic Women is proud to endorse her campaign for Nebraska’s Second District.”
“As someone who has worked for a decade to help elect more women across our state, I am honored to be endorsed by Elect Democratic Women in this critical race,” said Denise Powell. “I am excited to work with EDW and the dynamic Congresswomen who are a part of this organization to flip this seat, take back the House, and bring common sense leadership from Nebraska to Washington. In Congress, I’ll work closely with other EDW members to lower costs for hardworking families, expand access to affordable healthcare, and root out the corruption that has taken hold in our politics.”
