The Democratic nominee in Nebraska’s Second Congressional District, Denise Powell, opposes efforts to prevent children from undergoing sex-change surgery, a Washington Free Beacon review found.
In a February 2023 Facebook post, Powell vowed to “never ever stop fighting” against a state law signed months later that prevents minors from accessing puberty blockers, hormone treatments, and sex-change surgeries. Powell wrote in the post that the bill “would make it illegal for kids to access gender-affirming care.”
The next month, Powell posted a lengthier message on Facebook in which she said preventing minors from undergoing sex-change surgeries “HURT[s] children” and encouraged her followers to “call or tweet at [their] senators.”

Before Powell launched her congressional campaign, she cofounded a group called Women Who Run Nebraska that describes itself as “the only Political Action Committee (PAC) in the Midwest dedicated solely to recruiting, supporting, and electing forward-thinking women.” The group’s website states, “While all women face challenges, Black women, Latinas, Native and Indigenous women, trans women, and women with disabilities often face even more,” adding that the organization is “committed to making sure these candidates get the equitable support and resources they deserve.”
Women Who Run Nebraska has backed a number of radical politicians in the state. One of those candidates, former state senator Jen Day (D.), has spoken out against the proposed “Fairness for Girls” amendment to the state’s constitution that will appear on the ballot this November and would prevent men and boys from playing on women’s and girls’ sports teams.
