I so appreciate you dropping in to tune into my interview with State Senator John Cavenaugh, who is now running for Congress in Congressional District 2. Senator John Cavenaugh, representing Midtown Omaha since 2020, was a Douglas County Public Defender for seven years.

As a state senator, he championed Nebraskans' well-being through legislation, including domestic violence protections, preventing child support fund diversion, streamlining Medicaid enrollment for formerly incarcerated individuals, safeguarding homes from predatory property tax speculators, and eliminating sales tax on diapers. 

Cavanaugh consistently opposed extreme measures, such as abortion bans and tax increases on working Nebraskans benefiting wealthy out-of-state entities. He is a vocal proponent of democratic principles, opposing actions that defy voter will on issues like paid sick leave, minimum wage increases, and medical cannabis legalization. We will explore his vision, achievements, and candidacy for Washington.
