"summary",
"The article highlights the importance of the election of John Ewing Jr as the first Black mayor of Omaha, Nebraska, and how it reflects the potential shift in political winds in the country. The article also discusses the strategy of the chair of the Nebraska Democratic party, Jane Kleeb, who has been instrumental in building coalitions and running campaigns focused on local issues. The article suggests that the success of Ewing's campaign and the Nebraska Democratic party's strategy could be a model for Democrats to succeed in 2026 and beyond."

John Ewing Jr, a longtime county treasurer, was elected the first Black mayor of Omaha, defeating the incumbent Jean Stothert, who was seeking a fourth term after holding that office since 2013. More than that, Ewing won big, by nearly 13 points, marking a huge shift after Stothert won her last race by 30.Katrina vanden Heuvel is editorial director and publisher of the Nation, she is a member of the Council on Foreign Relations, and she has contributed to the Washington Post, the New York Times and the Los Angeles Times Continue reading...\nhttps://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2025/may/21/omaha-election-win-democrats-lessons-john-ewing-jr",
