OMAHA- Mayor Jean Stothert announced this week that she intends to run for a fourth term. She was first elected in 2013, becoming the first female mayor of Nebraska's largest city, and was reelected twice. She had served on the Omaha City Council before she was elected mayor. She acknowledged that the city has "challenges. Every growing city does.”

“We really have a record of progress, determination and success. And together, we do have the momentum to build Omaha into the city of the future," Stothert said. “We are focused on public safety, employment and business growth, investment in our urban core and historic neighborhoods, strong financial management and creating opportunities for everyone.”

The mayor also said that the city's tax levy is at its "lowest rate since 2010" and that hotel occupancy is now at the highest level the city has seen for 16 years. Joining Stothert at her announcement event was Former Nebraska Gov. Dave Heineman. The election for mayor and other city offices is in 2025.
