Omaha City General Election is Tuesday, May 13th! Check your polling place here: https://www.votercheck.necvr.ne.gov/VoterView

During the campaign season, we interviewed all the candidates for the Omaha City Mayoral race, including the two who advanced through the April primary election: Incumbent Jean Stothert (R) and Douglas County Treasurer John Ewing Jr. (D).

In the PR world, there’s a lot of talk about the importance of a strong, memorable elevator pitch — a clear message that tells voters exactly why they should cast their ballot for you. Dan asked both Mayor Stothert and John Ewing to do just that: give voters their pitch for why they deserve your vote on May 13th.
