Stothert v. Ewing: Who Should You Vote For? | Omaha Mayor Race 2025

Stothert v. Ewing: Who Should You Vote For? | Omaha Mayor Race 2025

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). We partnered with Flatwater Free Press and Civic Nebraska on their Voter Guide for the Omaha City Election and shared those interviews with them for wider publication. The Voter Guide can more accessed https://voterguide.flatwaterfreepress.org/

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.

Dan asked both Mayor Stothert and John Ewing about the city’s use of tax increment financing — or TIF — a development tool that’s drawn some heat lately, both locally and at the state level. If elected, how would they approach it? Would they keep it as is, or push for changes? Here are their answers.
