RNC Statement on Denise Powell

Press Release

WASHINGTON, D.C. If you’re covering the NE-02 Democrat primary, please consider the following statement from the Republican National Committee: 

 

“From his time as a business leader to serving on the city council, Brinker Harding is an expert in creating jobs and lowering the cost of living in Omaha. Republicans will ensure voters know Denise Powell has fully bought into the radical left's vision of tax hikes on Americans to pay for freebies for illegal immigrants." - RNC Chairman Joe Gruters

 

Earlier this week, Democrat Chair Jane Kleeb complained that Democrats have lost touch with Midwest voters because they keep pushing radicals like Denise Powell who:

  • Was a longtime consultant and shady political operative for a dark money far-left group
  • Wants to repeal the Working Families Tax Cuts that gave the average Nebraskan a $3,378 refund 
  • Wants illegal immigrants to get taxpayer-funded healthcare
