OMAHA — Douglas County District Court Clerk Crystal Rhoades is done exploring a bid. She is running to be the Democratic nominee for the Nebraska 2nd Congressional District.
She describes herself as a “unique candidate” who can meet the moment for Democrats who want to win.
“I am tired of the chaos in Washington,” Rhoades told the Nebraska Examiner in recent days. “I am tired of people who don’t know what it’s like to punch a time clock and live paycheck to paycheck.”
The lifelong Omahan has a history of helping local Democrats win elections as a political consultant, including a significant role in helping John Ewing Jr. become the first Democrat to lead the largest city in Nebraska in roughly a decade.

Our first 5 links for the 2026 mid-term cycle are in (Omaha) the Blue Dot.
The Cook Political Report calls the race in the 2nd District a lean left, making it a likely candidate for big spending as the GOP attempts to maintain or bolster its small majority, and Democrats try to take back control.
There will be at least 6 Democrats that will be running in the primary next May. The DU is neutral in all races between Democrats. That said, here are the five DU ActBlue links we have so far for the NE-2 primary Blue Dot race.
