Nebraska's 2nd congressional district
This conservative-leaning district is solely based in metropolitan Omaha and has been represented by incumbent Republican Congressman Lee Terry since he was first elected in 1998. Congressman Terry faced a tough bid for re-election in 2008 from Democrat Jim Esch, but Esch declined to run for Congress a third time in 2010. Instead, State Senator Tom White emerged as the Democratic nominee. Though polls indicated the race to be close and Democrats saw the 2nd district as one of their few pick-up opportunities,http://www.politicsdaily.com/2010/09/21/rarer-than-a-unicorn-we-find-a-nervous-gop-house-incumbent/ HuffPost - Breaking News, U.S. And World News Congressman Terry was ultimately re-elected by a wide margin on election day.

Nebraska's 3rd congressional district
This congressional district, which constitutes nearly 85% of Nebraska's land mass, is one of the most conservative districts in the country. Though incumbent Congressman Adrian Smith, a Republican, was elected to his first term in 2006 by a shockingly small ten-point margin of victory, he has enjoyed considerable luck since. This year, Congressman Smith faced Democratic nominee Rebekah Davis and independent candidate Dan Hill. As expected, Smith trounced both Davis and Hill to win a third term to Congress.
