Both Candidates Target Cost of Living | Lincoln News

In Nebraska’s Second Congressional District, Democrat Kara Eastman and Republican Don Bacon are locked in a fierce race over who can best tackle soaring costs — from groceries and gas to healthcare and childcare. Eastman zeroes in on inflation’s toll on families, pushing for payday loan caps, tax credits, and lower prescription drug prices. Bacon counters with a focus on cutting taxes, reducing government spending, and expanding affordable childcare. While Eastman criticizes her opponent’s record as insufficient, Bacon warns her proposals could hurt the economy. Both campaigns are ramping up with tailored messages aimed squarely at voters struggling with everyday expenses — a battle mirroring national anxieties about affordability and financial stability.
