What John Ewing's Mayoral Victory Says About the Political Mood in Omaha — and the Country

  • Democrat John Ewing defeated three-term Republican incumbent Jean Stothert in Omaha's mayoral election held Tuesday, May 13, 2025.
  • Stothert's term limits, shifting voter demographics, and increased Democratic enthusiasm led to Ewing's decisive victory with about 56% of the vote.
  • Ewing, Douglas County Treasurer since 2007, secured nearly 11,000 more votes than Stothert, carrying east central and North Omaha precincts with strong turnout.
  • Ewing described this as a chance to highlight Omaha positively and show that the city is welcoming and ready to engage with new members of the community, echoing his campaign themes.
  • The election results suggest Nebraska's political landscape is shifting toward Democrats, possibly impacting the 2026 congressional race and signaling challenges for conservative Republicans.
