Nebraska Democrat Kara Eastman has gotten the nod from former President Barack Obama.
Obama, the Democratic president who left office in 2017, issued his second round of 2018 endorsements for federal and state candidates Monday.
"I’m proud to endorse even more Democratic candidates who aren’t just running against something, but for something — to expand opportunity for all of us and to restore dignity, honor, and compassion to public service," he tweeted. "They deserve your vote."
Obama won Nebraska's 2nd District in 2008. In the next two presidential elections, the 2nd District went to the Republican candidate, Mitt Romney in 2012 and Donald Trump in 2016.
