Douglas County (NE) Democratic Party

Political call-to-action graphic The image has a black, white, and blue color scheme. Across the top, there is a quote in large, bold white letters: “Red state, blue state, appointed, elected — we have unanimous approval supporting these (healthcare) tax credits.” - Jon Godfread (R), President of the National Association of Insurance Commissioners Below the quote, there's a smaller text box that reads: “Time is short for an ACA premium fix in the shutdown fight, says GOP insurance leader”, NPR, 10.4.25 Moving down, a large blue arrow pointing right contains the word "CALL" in white. Next to it, contact information for politicians is listed in black bold text: Bacon: (202) 225-4155 Ricketts: (202) 224-4224 Fischer: (202) 224-6551 Below this, black and regular-weight text says: Tell them to STOP the shutdown by giving Nebraskans access to affordable healthcare At the very bottom is the logo for the Douglas County Democratic Party. The logo features a stylized "D" with a blue dot inside.

Americans want & deserve affordable healthcare. That’s why support for extending the Affordable Care Act tax credits is bipartisan.

Call Bacon (202.225.4155), Ricketts (202.224.4224) & Fischer (202.224.6551) to tell them to STOP the shutdown by giving Nebraskans access to affordable healthcare.

Political advertisement featuring black-and-white photos of four politicians in front of the White House and U.S. Capitol. The text at the top reads: "Republican House of Representatives. Republican Senate. Republican White House." The word "Republican" is highlighted in red each time. Below the politicians, in large red letters, it states: "Republican Shut Down." At the bottom is the logo for the Douglas County Democratic Party, with their name written next to it. The overall design emphasizes the word "Republican" in red and associates it with the government shutdown.

Americans want & deserve access to affordable healthcare, not 6 days of a Republican shutdown.

Outdoor gathering in a park, with a group of people standing and listening to someone speak at the bottom of a brick staircase. Most people are wearing casual clothes, some with matching shirts and blue stickers or dots. There are a few tables and tents set up under the trees, and the sunny weather casts dappled shadows on the ground. The mood appears friendly and engaged, with adults and some children present. In the foreground, one person is wearing a shirt with a large QR code on the back. The green park space is open and spacious, suggesting a community or social event.

Group of people standing and conversing on a covered porch. Most are casually dressed, wearing jeans, shorts, t-shirts, and comfortable shoes. There are some older women, one with short gray hair and a purple jacket, enthusiastically talking to a woman in a black t-shirt and denim skirt, who holds a cup and small plate. In the background, a man in a blue cap and dark clothes is standing, while another man with a crossbody bag and white shorts is speaking to a woman with curly gray hair and a white skirt tied around her waist. A woman with a braid and beige sweater looks on, holding a pamphlet. Through the window of the door to the right, several people—adults and children—are visible sitting inside, watching or eating. The atmosphere looks friendly and social.

A group of five older adults sitting around a rectangular table in a community room. On the table in front of them are plates with food like burgers and beans, as well as cans of Diet Coke and regular Coke. One man at the end wears a cream hat and a colorful floral shirt, and everyone seems relaxed and in conversation. The room has green panel walls, a window letting in light, and a stack of chairs in the corner.

Picnic table with five people enjoying a meal together outdoors. There are two adults on the left—an older man with a white beard, wearing a cap and sunglasses, and a blonde woman with a name tag that says "CINDY." On the right side, there is a woman wearing sunglasses and a red-patterned dress with two girls, one wearing a striped shirt and the other with a unicorn shirt and headband. The table is set with plates containing sandwiches, chips, beans, and pickles, along with beverages like Coca-Cola and Diet Coke. The setting is a covered outdoor area with brick pillars and greenery in the background, giving a relaxed and cheerful atmosphere.

A sunny afternoon full of conversation, community & grub…you could feel the Blue Dot energy! Thanks to all who came out for our annual Fall BBQ last week, from community members to elected officials to 2026 candidates.

Political advertisement featuring four people in front of a background with stacks of U.S. hundred-dollar bills. The text at the top reads "REPUBLICAN GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN" in large gold letters. Below the image, in a mix of gold and gray text, it says: "TRUMP, FISCHER, RICKETTS & BACON STAND WITH BILLIONAIRES WHILE YOU COUGH UP MORE MONEY FOR HEALTHCARE" At the bottom is the logo and name: "Douglas County Democratic Party." The overall message criticizes these Republican politicians for supporting billionaires instead of addressing healthcare costs for regular people.

Day 2 of the Republican Government Shutdown. Why? Trump, Fischer, Ricketts & Bacon rather stand with billionaires while you cough up more money for healthcare!

Group of people standing together at a press event, all holding signs with a yellow heart that say "TIME TO CARE!" and "Support WORKING FAMILIES." In the center, a woman is clapping and smiling behind a podium with the same "TIME TO CARE!" heart. Behind them, there are boxes with "PAID SICK LEAVE" written on them. The text above the group states: "PAID sick LEAVE IS LAW! OCTOBER 1, 2025." The colors are primarily blue, yellow, and white, and the mood is celebratory.

Paid sick leave is now law in Nebraska!! When we care for workers, we invest in our businesses, families & communities. 🎉

Infographic with a quote about tariffs increasing the cost of imported goods, which then raises grocery store prices for consumers. The word "consumers" is highlighted in orange. The source is credited to NPR, dated September 19, 2025. The bottom half features a grocery cart with various food items, set against yellow and orange upward-pointing arrows, symbolizing rising prices. Below the cart are four people in business attire, all looking in various directions, and the far-right person has light-colored hair and is smirking. The logo for the Douglas County Democratic Party appears in the upper right corner.

Grocery prices are rising & the Trump tariffs are to blame (as are Senator Ricketts, Senator Fischer & Representative Bacon).

October 8th but unfortunately we are at max capacity. We are working to increase it so stay tuned.

Group of five people sitting around a metal picnic table under a wooden shelter in a park. The table is covered with items such as notebooks, green slips of paper, a cup with a small amount of liquid, a speaker, a phone, and some markers. One woman with blonde hair in a bun and wearing glasses and a sleeveless top is speaking to the group. There is a laptop open toward the middle of the table. The setting appears relaxed but focused, as if the group is having a discussion or meeting. In the background, there is green grass, trees, and a few houses and vehicles can be seen further away. The atmosphere is casual and outdoorsy.

Park shelter scene with two people. A woman stands on the left holding a small dog with a black patch around one eye. She is wearing glasses, a cream-colored shirt, and jeans. A man stands on the right, holding a smartphone up as if taking a photo or video of her and the dog. He is wearing glasses, a white T-shirt, black shorts, and sneakers. Part of a third person, seated and wearing a pink top, is just visible on the far right edge of the image. In the background there is green grass, large trees, and several houses and parked cars lining a residential street. The corner of a metal picnic table is visible in the foreground under the shade of the shelter.

The image contains a congratulatory message for Labor Day on a light gray background with small, blue star-like sparkles scattered at the top. The text, in bold dark blue uppercase letters, says "HAPPY LABOR DAY."

The workers include a police officer, construction worker, nurse, delivery person holding boxes and a carrot, farmer with a hat and boots, a person in a casual outfit reading a book, a firefighter in orange gear holding a hose, a doctor, another police officer, and a chef in a white uniform. The overall tone is appreciative and celebrates the contributions of diverse workers in society.
