Vote Mama, Liuba Grechen Shirley:

“I’m thrilled to endorse such an inspiring, trailblazing mother for city council,” said Liuba Grechen Shirley, Vote Mama’s Founder and CEO. “Solving the issues women, children, and families are facing today, especially during this pandemic, requires a mother’s perspective, and when mamas run, they show the world that running for office is just another thing mothers are capable of. Naomi tackles some of the most pressing issues facing working families today, but does so by leading with her lived experiences and grounding her daily work in compassion. I can’t think of anyone better to build a future all of our kids deserve.”

About City Council

What does a City Council do?

The Omaha City Council has the power to adopt, amend or repeal ordinances (as well as the power to adopt the budget, make/confirm appointments, call for audits and other necessary actions consistent with the City charter).

District 6 of the Omaha City Council has approximately 56,000 registered voters. In the 2021 Primary election, Naomi garnered 39% of the vote, against the incumbent. We are looking forward to the General election on May 11th where we will close that gap!

District 6 generally includes 85th Street to the Elkhorn River, and Dodge Street to Center. The district encompasses four school districts and shares constituents with 5 Nebraska State Senators and 3 Douglas County Commissioners.
