100% reporting (259 of 259 precincts) * Incumbent 2018 Prediction: Do you want more Bacon in the future? Looking at past elections, the chances of Don Bacon being reelected in 2018 are high. In the last election, Brad Ashford, a democrat won the election. A democrat as Nebraska's 2nd district congressman isn't unheard of, but not too common. Prior to Ashford's election, Lee Terry, a Republican from Omaha Nebraska, held his position as congressman from 1999 to 2014. With these past political views, Bacon's reelection wouldn't come as a surprise to many. If Bacon sticks with his republican views he could appeal to a large enough population to secure his reelection. Top Issues: Bacon on three major issues: Terrorism "We are barely containing Isis. We need to defeat Isis with assertive leadership, our superior airpower, and special forces." Government Spending "I support a balanced budget amendment.
