Democrats Work for America

Help Elect Tony Vargas NE-02!

Don Bacon (R) has been the U.S. House Rep from Nebraska since January 2017 and he has repeatedly cast bad votes. Time to send a good Democrat to Congress from NE-02.


Tony Vargas (D) is a seasoned public servant and current Nebraska State Senator, running to represent Nebraska’s 2nd Congressional District. He was born to Peruvian immigrants in Queens, New York, and moved to Nebraska after beginning his career as a public school teacher with Teach For America.


His background in education led him to the Omaha Public Schools Board, where he worked on policies to improve academic outcomes and financial transparency. He then transitioned to the Nebraska Legislature in 2016, where he has focused on issues like economic growth, affordable healthcare, and educational reform.


In the Nebraska Legislature, Vargas built a reputation for bipartisanship and pragmatism. He worked to pass over 40 bills on a variety of issues, from tax relief to healthcare access. One of his standout accomplishments is his work on expanding Medicaid and lowering healthcare costs, which remains a cornerstone of his platform.


Vargas has a strong record of fighting for working families, reproductive rights, and climate policies. His leadership during the COVID-19 pandemic further highlighted his commitment to public health, safety, and economic recovery, where he pushed for expanded relief programs for small businesses and frontline workers.


Vargas is deeply invested in local community building and understands the diverse needs of his district, which includes Omaha. His campaign focuses on economic development, improving public education, reproductive rights, and protecting democracy. His progressive platform and strong ties to local communities make him a formidable candidate in a race against Republican incumbent Don Bacon.


Vargas’ campaign draws on his personal story of perseverance as a son of immigrants and his bipartisan legislative success, positioning him as a candidate who can win in Nebraska’s competitive 2nd District and bring meaningful change to Congress.


We're counting on grassroots supporters like you to power Tony Vargas to victory.
