Republican Representative Adrian Smith secured his reelection to continue serving Nebraska’s expansive rural 3rd Congressional District on Tuesday, marking his 10th consecutive term in office.
The victory was not widely contested as Smith faced Democrat Daniel Ebers, a newcomer to the political arena and a farmer hailing from Overton.
This outcome aligns with Smith’s previous election victories, which have consistently seen strong support; he ran unchallenged in the 2016 election and maintained a robust voter base, garnering close to 80% of the ballots in subsequent elections.
Smith is recognized as one of the most conservative lawmakers in Congress, representing one of the nation’s staunchest conservative districts.
The announcement of Smith’s victory came at 10:52 p.m. EST on election night.
