WASHINGTON — U.S. Rep. Donald John “Don” Bacon (R-Neb.) announced on June 30 that he would retire from Congress and not seek reelection to another term during the 2026 congressional elections.
Bacon, 61, has represented Nebraska’s 2nd District—covering parts of Omaha and surrounding areas—in the U.S. House of Representatives since 2017. Each of his five electoral victories was won by close margins, and Bacon has often voted against the majority of his party on a number of issues.
