Preston Love Jr. is making history as the Democratic nominee for the U.S. Senate in Nebraska, being the first Black candidate to win a major party’s nomination in the state.
He faces incumbent Republican Sen. Pete Ricketts, who has a substantial fundraising advantage. Love aims to boost voter turnout among marginalized communities while highlighting issues like economic inclusivity and reproductive rights.
Ricketts, meanwhile, is campaigning on national security and economic stewardship, emphasizing his experience as a former governor.
Both candidates share views on U.S. military aid to Israel and Ukraine, and they are focused on improving Congress’s budget processes.
