Fourth candidate enters GOP race for Second Congressional District

By Katie Schubert

Omaha, NE – The former chairman of the Douglas County Republican Party is seeking the GOP nomination for the Second Congressional District.

Glenn Freeman announced his candidacy last week. Freeman is the third challenger to incumbent Congressman Lee Terry in the Second District race. Financial Advisor and former Husker Quarterback Brett Lindstrom, and UNO mathematics department chairman Jack Heidel, are also candidates.

Freeman says his campaign will focus on the national deficit and state sovereignty.

Douglas County Treasurer John Ewing and State Senator Gwen Howard are seeking the Democratic nomination for the Second Congressional District seat. Nebraska's primary is May 15th.
