It's a Blue Tsunami!
A Word From Ruth - Our Fearless Leader!!
Ruth Cox
"The 2026 general election will go down in the history books as a turning point for America. Voters across the country came out in record numbers to repudiate Donald Trump and MAGA extremism. We will have a solid majority in both the House and the Senate with which we can put a check on Trump’s reckless policies and try to get our country back on track. And, guess who isn’t going back to Congress in 2027? Kevin Kiley!!!!!
The outcome of our local elections is still uncertain as we don’t know how many votes remain to be counted. We have a good chance of seating at least one of our school board candidates. What is crystal clear, however, is the heart Lincoln Democrats showed in this campaign. We outperformed Republicans in voter turnout by 6%. We fielded three fantastic school board candidates that handled themselves with integrity and professionalism from day one. Our volunteers were more engaged this year on every level - from fundraising to voter outreach to participation in local government meetings to hold our elected officials accountable. And the Executive Board of the Democratic Club of Lincoln lead the way.
Please accept my heartfelt gratitude to all of you for your dedication and hard work. We’ve come a long way and I am confident that we are better prepared to achieve victories in future elections because of your efforts.
We hope you will join us at the DCL monthly meeting on November 19th where we will hear from local political scientist, Terry McAteer, about this year’s election results and what it portends for our future. We will have some analytics on our own performance here in Lincoln, as well.
Thank you for your support!"
Ruth Cox, President - Democratic Club of Lincoln

How We're Making a Difference
Community Service
Want to make a tangible difference? Join us for neighborhood clean-ups, donation drives, and volunteer events that directly support communities across the city.
Workshops
We’re hosting workshops to share practical tools for making a real impact — whether you’re posting on social media or reaching out to elected officials.
Protests
Too often, politics can feel distant—but not when you show up at a protest or rally. Whether it’s No Kings or speaking out against our representative’s voting record, there’s real hope in standing shoulder to shoulder with others and pushing back against a cruel, incompetent administration.
