It’s time for new blood in Nebraska’s CD 1.

Why I’m Running:

Our Congress is in complete disarray and our Congressman Mike Flood has forgotten his nonpartisan roots and ability to work with the other side.

Because of this blind allegiance to political parties, the current Congress can’t pass a long-term budget to fund our military, protect our seniors and the least among us, and continue to invest in infrastructure, ag, families, first responders, and our teachers.  

About Carol Blood

Strong work ethic, faith, family, and the belief that Nebraskans stand together when times get tough. Those are the values that make Nebraska special, and the values Carol Blood shares as her own.

Born in McCook, raised in rural Adams County, and living in Sarpy County for the past three decades, State Senator Carol Blood is a Nebraskan through and through.

Carol has served her community as an active volunteer and dedicated elected official. Elected to the Bellevue City Council in 2008, and re-elected in 2012, Carol served her community with integrity and enthusiasm. She took her leadership to the Nebraska State Legislature in 2016, and is currently serving her second term.  In the legislature, Carol is a staunch advocate for Nebraska families: leading the fight to protect the state’s water sources, advocating for veterans and first responders, working to protect and strengthen the state’s public schools, and creating protections for small business owners and working Nebraskans.

Carol knows that Nebraska communities are full of hardworking and deserving citizens and she has always made it a priority to be accessible to her constituents. After all, she was elected to serve their needs! When elected, Carol will continue to keep her eye on what is important – people. Those seeking to serve in public office should not serve special interest groups or political parties, they should serve you.

  • Protect Medicaid, Medicare & Social Security

    When elected I will work to protect Medicaid, Medicare & Social Security as we know it. My opponent and his cronies want to reduce and even eliminate these valuable benefits, making hard working folks who’ve been paying into this system for DECADES wait until they’re over 70 years old to use it. While my opponent wants to weaponize these issues to divide voters, I promise to come together to find long-term solutions that fund these programs and protect the benefits that working Nebraskans are entitled to.

  • Carol Blood: Protect Public Schools

    Protect Our Public Schools

    All children should be provided the resources and opportunities they need to succeed regardless of where they live, where they come from or what they look like. Nebraskans love and value public schools and don’t want to see their tax dollars taken away from them and given to private schools that aren’t accessible to all students.

  • Carol Blood: Protect Working Families

    Support and Lift-Up Working Families

    Fundamentally speaking, I believe the hard working families of Nebraska deserve fair pay, access to affordable childcare, paid family medical leave and have enough food to feed their families. When I’m in the U.S. Congress I will support legislation that creates greater opportunities for Nebraska families so that everyone has a real shot at the Good Life.

  • Carol Blood: Immigration Reform

    Adopt Comprehensive Immigration Reform

    Mike Flood and his cronies are to blame for the under-resourced and understaffed immigration system that has led to the current crisis at our border; from a shortage of border patrol agents and immigration judges, to a lack of humanitarian resources for asylum seekers and refugees. The lack of compromise to pass a long-term budget bill to protect our borders sits squarely on the shoulders of my opponent and his colleagues. I will work diligently to pass a budget that provides the resources necessary to protect our borders. I also will listen to those working on these issues every day, and will not involve myself with the “smoke and mirrors” rhetoric designed to scare and distract from the real issues.

  • Carol Blood: Defend Reproductive Healthcare

    Defend Accessible Reproductive Healthcare

    My opponent supports a complete and total ban on abortion. I believe that safe and accessible reproductive healthcare is a basic right that is supported by science, medicine and respect for human dignity.

“Together our voices are strong.
We can work together to make a better Nebraska. Our shared future depends on us.”

— State Senator Carol Blood
