Nebraskan political parties are preparing to select nominees for dozens of local, state and federal offices that will be on the ballot in November. But one comparatively small congressional district is drawing attention from outside the state as well as local politicians.

Congressional District 2, which encompasses the city of Omaha and its environs, is known as the Blue Dot because it stands out as a Democratic district in a largely Republican state. One senator and all three representatives—all Republicans—are on the November 2026 ballot.
