My name is Alisha Shelton, and I am running to flip this district blue and be Nebraska’s first Black Congresswoman. [I’m hoping you can support my campaign with a split contribution of $5 or more today.]( [CONTRIBUTE]( I’d love to tell you a little about me: I moved to Omaha, Nebraska, when I was 12 years old and am a proud graduate of Burke High School. I hold a Bachelor of Science from a historically Black university and two Master’s degrees. Currently, I’m a licensed mental health counselor in Nebraska, practicing primarily in Omaha. Growing up, my mother made sure I knew one thing: if someone is in trouble, we stop and help them. That means that no matter what, if you need me, I will be there. This is what drives me at all times, whether I’m administering CPR to strangers, advocating for my patients, or fighting for legislation that will help Nebraskans. I have faced much adversity in my life, but I never thought that my country or elected officials would turn their backs on hard-working folks like me — until I tried to talk to my Representatives in Washington, D.C., and was unable to directly contact a single member of Congress. That was the day I knew I would have to forge my own path to make the change I know we so desperately need. I’ve had the opportunity to speak with folks in our district about the problems that affect them — from farmers struggling to keep their family farms afloat to students unable to access adequate internet to continue their education during the pandemic. When talking to Nebraskans there has been a common theme: Washington is forgetting about the Heartland. Our elected officials here in Nebraska cave to special interests and forget about who they are representing, the people. This needs to change. Nebraskans want a leader who will be focused on the issues that matter. [I can be that leader, but I need your support to get there.]( We are called the Heartland because we are the heart and soul of this country. Access to broadband connections, affordable health care, and good-paying jobs are the basic needs of Nebraskans, and our elected officials are failing to provide results. That is why Nebraska’s Second Congressional District needs a Representative who will remember their roots, fight with their heart, and bring results to all Nebraskans. I am ready to be that Representative — [that’s why I’m asking for you to split a contribution between The Collective PAC and my campaign today to ensure we have the resources we need to succeed.]( If you've stored your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will be processed immediately and split between Alisha Shelton and The Collective PAC.
