Nebraska Democrat Brad Ashford is hoping to return to Congress and is launching his campaign for his old House seat Sunday.

Ashford lost re-election to a second term in 2016 to Republican Don Bacon, a former Air Force brigadier general, by just over 1 point. And Ashford is looking for a rematch in the state’s 2nd District in 2018.

“My work is not done,” Ashford said in a statement. “I see people being hurt by their government and I watch as a partisan divide has torn at our nation when what is needed, more than ever, is leadership without vitriol.”

In a press release announcing his decision, Ashford listed some of his accomplishments in office, including bringing a new Veterans Affairs medical center to Omaha. The city is at the heart of the 2nd District and is the largest city in the Cornhusker State.

Ashford, a former state legislator, is running for Congress instead of his wife, Ann, who was also weighing a run. Ann, an attorney, had been a lifelong Republican, but recently switched to the Democratic Party due in part to President Donald Trump’s candidacy, according to the Omaha World Herald.
