In somewhat of a surprise, Democrats in Lincoln, NE have been the top two vote getters for the three at large City Council seats. The City Council positions are non-partisan technically but the parties get involved and this time the Democrats were active. We got numerous calls which is not the norm. Usually, the Republicans take two of three of the at large seats while the Democrats do better with the district seats. The district seats were elected two years and each party got two so they had the advantage the last two years and it now has flipped. We also have a Democratic mayor which makes his job easier.
