Nebraska, for the longest time, has been a Republican state with little to no districts falling to the Democrats. However, this particular district is a very close toss-up between both parties. The exact same 2 candidates ran in the election of 2018, in which the Republican candidate Don Bacon won 51% to Democrat Kara Eastman's 49%. This state is considered a swing state for the new and upcoming precedence of Democratic beliefs that are making the election closer. 

​

The difference between the two candidates is profound. Kara Eastman supports full attention to ensuring only green energy is being used and ensuring Democratic beliefs are upheld with her non-profit organization. Don Bacon supports small businesses and creating jobs, as well as ensuring the Republican beliefs are upheld with his organization.
