OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Republican Adrian Smith had no trouble winning election to a fifth term representing Nebraska’s sprawling 3rd Congressional District.
Voters Tuesday favored Smith over Democrat Mark Sullivan, a feedlot owner and former member of the Nebraska Air National Guard.
It was the second time the two had faced each other for a chance to represent the district, which includes about three-fourths of Nebraska. In 2012, Smith won easily.
In his campaign, Smith argued for repealing the Affordable Care Act, cutting the federal debt and reducing regulations.
Sullivan contended Smith shared the blame for Washington dysfunction, saying the country needed people committed to working together and solving problems.
