| Description | Competing partisan plans to redraw Nebraska's three congressional districts should come with two labels:
“Help Lee Terry” or “Hurt Lee Terry.”
The Republican congressman who represents the Omaha-based 2nd district would get the benefit of the GOP-rich suburbs of western Sarpy County under the plan a fellow Republican floated Tuesday in the Legislature.
That plan would “safeguard” Terry by making his district more Republican, said Paul Landow, a political science professor at the University of Nebraska at Omaha and a former Democratic strategist.
Meanwhile, the two plans Democratic state senators put forward would keep the more Democratic areas of Sarpy County in the 2nd District — Bellevue and neighborhoods just across the Douglas County line from South Omaha.
