Kara Eastman

US House Nebraska — 2nd District Democrat
Challenger2020
Kara Eastman is the Democratic nominee for Nebraska’s Second Congressional District. Kara is a dedicated public servant with more than 20 years of experience in the nonprofit sector. Kara started Omaha Healthy Kids Alliance, which has grown to be a nationally recognized organization and raised more than $13 million to support safe housing. Additionally, Kara served on the board of the Nonprofit Association of the Midlands and on the Mayor of Omaha’s Fair Housing Advisory Board, while also getting elected to the Board of Governors of Metropolitan Community College. In 2018, Kara ran to represent Nebraska’s Second Congressional District and came within two points of unseating the Republican incumbent who she will be facing again this November.

Kara’s dedication to the public health and safety of her community goes hand in hand with her support of gun violence prevention measures. Once elected to Congress, Kara will advocate for universal background checks, raising the minimum age to buy a firearm to 21 years old, and banning the sale of military-grade weapons. Residents of the Second Congressional District can rely on Kara Eastman to fight for gun safety measures that will protect and improve the lives of everyday Nebraskans. 

We are proud to endorse Kara Eastman for the US House of Representatives in 2020.
