What John Ewing's Mayoral Victory Says About the Political Mood in Omaha — and the Country
- On Tuesday night, John Ewing, the Democratic Douglas County Treasurer, defeated three-term GOP incumbent Jean Stothert in Omaha's mayoral election.
- Ewing's victory followed a political climate marked by Omaha’s growing population and shifting voter demographics favoring Democrats in recent elections.
- Ewing secured roughly 56% of the vote against Stothert's 44%, achieving a lead that increased from about 11,000 votes on election night to nearly 13,000 votes in later unofficial counts.

- The election results have unsettled Nebraska politicians and suggest potential implications for upcoming mid-term elections and the possibility of Democratic gains in the second congressional district.
