US EditionHistory will be made in Tuesday’s Stothert-Ewing mayoral tilt
- Omaha voters will decide whether to reelect Jean Stothert, the city's first female mayor, to a fourth term or elect John Ewing, the community's first Black mayoral candidate.
- The race has focused mostly on everyday concerns such as maintaining city streets and waste management, with more politically charged topics related to the Trump administration and social issues gaining prominence late in the campaign.
- Stothert highlights progress on city streets, a revitalized riverfront, and streetcar plans, while Ewing criticizes insufficient focus on potholes, police hiring, and affordable housing.
- Stothert told the Omaha World-Herald that she has initiatives underway and is open to discussing them, while Ewing expressed that many people believe it is time for new leadership after the mayor’s tenure.
- The victor will serve as mayor of Omaha, Nebraska’s most populous city that accounts for nearly 25% of the state’s residents, holding a nonpartisan position that carries considerable political weight in an otherwise conservative region.
