Voters in Omaha, Nebraska, have ousted three-term Republican Mayor Jean Stothert after she blanketed airwaves with anti-trans attacks during her recent bid for reelection.
Omaha’s first Black mayor takes office in just a few weeks, but it’s been a long, fruitful journey for John Ewing.
Douglas County Treasurer John Ewing Jr. defeated incumbent Jean Stothert in the general election to become the next mayor of Omaha. Ewing is the first Black mayor in the history of Omaha. He will be sworn in on June 9.
