1. MELLO VOTERS ROCK OMAHA; STRONG PRIMARY RESULTS SHOW DEMOCRATIC BASE ENERGIZED

“Over half of Omahans cast ballots for change in the Mayor’s office. All the broken promises Stothert made on the restaurant tax and roads are catching up to her,” stated Chair Jane Kleeb. “Stothert’s bullying attitude is reminiscent of Trump – whom she endorsed even after his many attacks on women, veterans, and people with disabilities. Heath Mello brings new vision and ideas for clean energy jobs to keep young people in our state and keep Omaha growing strong. Democratic and Independent voters shook up the entire state of politics in Omaha tonight. We have something to prove–we march and we vote for change.”

“Voters in Lincoln are sending three Democrats to go up against three Republicans for the critical at-large City Council elections. Lincoln continues to trend progressive with voters making the clear link between issues they care about from public education, to White Clay, to clean energy and electing Democrats who act on their values.”

2. Bernie Sanders set to stump for Mello at Baxter Arena

Excerpt:

Sanders’ visit makes it clear the race will attract national attention, as Democratic leaders say it could be one of several examples of Democrats’ rising up and re-engaging at the local level in the wake of Republican Donald Trump’s victory last month. As if to underscore that point, Tom Perez — the chairman of the National Democratic Party — will also attend the rally.

Mello made it clear he appreciated the help from Sanders, a man who has made his mark on the national stage calling for increased taxes on wealthier Americas to offset what Sanders has termed the “income gap” in this nation.

“Working class families in our city are looking for a new leadership and that’s why I’m so excited to speak about my vision for Omaha alongside Senators Sanders and Chairman Perez,” said Mello.

Tickets will be given out on a first-come, first-served basis, with 3,000 available at the door. The event will start at 6 p.m., with doors opening at 5 p.m.

8. This is great. I think Bernie has really found his niche here.

He comes in to make Republican voters question why the hell they have been supporting that party, then Perez can come in and introduce the Democratic Party as an alternative.

Really smart messaging and approach for the rural areas.
