RESULT: Omaha's Republican Mayor Jean Stothert just lost to her Democratic challenger John Ewing.
Stothert, who was running for a fourth term, resorted to anti-trans ads and messaging around who uses bathrooms in the final stretch of the campaign.
Ewing will be Omaha's first Black mayor.

Let me guess…the risk score is closely associated with race
5–In 2024, Louisiana passed a law that ceded much of the power of the parole board to a computerized risk assessment tool. Only those deemed low-risk can be paroled. About 13,000 prisoners - nearly half of the state’s prison population - have moderate or high risk scores.
