In this world where truth is under attack at every turn we need trusted public media. Support your local public broadcasters and support candidates who support public media.

I am strongly opposed to funding cuts for public broadcasting, and will support the restoration of these funds.

Congress has already made several disastrous cuts to essential programs like Medicaid, ending health care for millions. Now they have continued the chaos by cutting $1.1 billion in federal funds for public broadcasting.

In Nebraska, public broadcasting covers the Legislature and gives the public the transparency they need to hold their state senators accountable.

Over 15% of Nebraska Public Media’s budget comes from federal funding. Losing federal funding means risking the valuable programming and essential news NPM provides for all Nebraskans.

Nationally, public broadcasting is the primary source of emergency weather alerts in rural areas, further risking lives from floods like in Texas, and putting Nebraskans in danger from severe weather like tornadoes.

Deep cuts will also threaten programs like “Sesame Street” that teach our children values and manners.

I am strongly opposed to funding cuts for public broadcasting, and will support the restoration of these funds.

This bill is about tax massive tax cuts for billionaires at the expense of everyday Americans. #NE02

John Cavanaugh For Congress @johncavanaugh.org · 03/07/2025

Congress just passed a huge tax break for billionaires while gutting Medicaid and taking healthcare away from millions of Americans. It's time to change Congress. #NE02

Today, the House passed the Billionaire Bailout Bill.

“While everyday Nebraskans struggle with healthcare costs, Republicans in Congress are gutting Medicaid and handing out tax breaks to their largest donors. This is not leadership - it’s economic sabotage. It’s time to change Congress.”

– Sen. John Cavanaugh

Senate Republicans just cut health care from millions of Americans. Not on my watch. It's time to end the chaos in Washington and get things back in balance for working families here in Nebraska. #NE02

Congress just proved why it is so broken -- Trump and Senate Republicans advanced their “Big Beautiful Bill” with JD Vance casting the tiebreaking vote. This means $1 trillion in cuts to Medicaid, and 10.6 million people would lose their Medicaid coverage. Those are cuts to health care for children, cuts to nursing homes, and cuts that threaten Nebraska hospitals – all to pay for even more tax breaks for the very wealthy.

Not on my watch. It’s why I’m running for Congress. I’ll lower the costs of healthcare and support tax relief that helps working families and small businesses. It’s time to end the chaos in Washington and get things back in balance for working families here in Nebraska.

Statement from John Cavanaugh on reports of Don Bacon's decision to not seek re-election.

John Cavanaugh for Congress Statement on Reported Bacon Retirement

I thank Rep. Bacon for his decades of service to this country, and wish him well in his retirement. The people of Nebraska’s 2nd District know it’s time for a change, time to lower costs for working families, and time to send a proven leader to Congress who can end the chaos. The people know that I won’t play politics but will take action to improve the lives of Nebraskans, like I’ve done in the state legislature.

I am in awe of the support I have received from Nebraskans and appreciate their confidence in my ability to represent them in Congress. I look forward to building on this momentum and earning the support of voters across the district because they know I will protect Medicare and Social Security, expand access to healthcare, and support tax cuts for Nebraska families, not billionaires.
