Democratic Congressional Candidate Tony Vargas Hosts Potluck In Cedar Bluffs, NE

CEDAR BLUFFS, NEBRASKA - OCTOBER 23: Former U.S. Sen. Heidi Heitkamp speaks at a ‘Get Out the Rural Vote Potluck’ with Nebraska Democrat U.S. House candidate Tony Vargas and says "The last time we had a farmer in the White House, his name was Jemmy Carter, one of the most principled, amazing leaders that America has ever produced. And Jemmy Carter was asked by his family what he wanted for his 100th birthday, which he just celebrated. He said, 'I want to live long enough to work for a couple of years'. He's still in the fight." on October 23, 2024 in Cedar Bluffs, Nebraska. Vargas would become the first Latino in Congress from Nebraska and is in a close race with Republican incumbent Don Bacon to represent Nebraska’s 2nd District, known as the ‘Blue Dot’. Nebraska, unlike most states, awards one Electoral College vote to each congressional district with the 2nd District, centered around Omaha, drawing national attention in the tight 2024 Presidential election.
