State Sen. Carol Blood of Bellevue, a Democrat, and U.S. Rep. Mike Flood, R-Neb., faced off in an hourlong debate Sunday, Sept. 15, 2024, at Nebraska Public Media’s studio in Lincoln for Nebraska’s 1st Congressional District election this fall. (Zach Wendling/Nebraska Examiner)
LINCOLN — U.S. Rep. Mike Flood, R-Neb., and his Democratic challenger, State Sen. Carol Blood, spent much of a debate Sunday categorizing the other as more extreme and out of touch with voters.
Flood, who is seeking his second full term in Congress in Nebraska’s 1st Congressional District, said he was elected to “turn the page” on an “extreme liberal agenda in Washington” in 2022, which he said Blood would follow. Blood said Flood has contributed to “hyperpartisanship” and inaction while in Congress and that she wouldn’t follow the Democratic Party.
“My opponent has endorsed Kamala Harris, and she would be a rubber stamp for the Democrats if she goes to Washington, and that’s bad for Nebraska,” Flood said.
Said Blood: “You can keep talking about Kamala Harris, I don’t know her personally and I didn’t think she was standing here debating Congressman Flood.”

Carol is a good friend of mine. I knew her before she sat on the Bellevue City Council. So about 20 years.
