US EditionHistory will be made in Tuesday’s Stothert-Ewing mayoral tilt
- Omaha voters will choose their next mayor on Tuesday, deciding between the current officeholder Jean Stothert and her opponent John Ewing Jr.
- The election follows a tight primary with low turnout and centers on whether to reelect Stothert for a fourth term or elect Omaha's first Black mayor.
- The candidates have concentrated on community concerns such as road maintenance and waste management, while also addressing broader national matters including the Trump administration and transgender rights.
- Stothert stresses that she has plans that are working, while Ewing claims voters feel "it's time for somebody new" and has run ads linking Stothert to radicals and Trump.
- The candidate who prevails will govern Omaha, the state’s most populous city, home to nearly 25% of Nebraska’s residents, with the mayoral position officially nonpartisan despite candidates openly aligning with political parties.
