Republicans argued that Seng, a Democrat , was merely trying to stir up political turmoil, and that the mayor of Omaha sought no such reimbursement following a visit from President George W. Bush in 2003 . Fortenberry, however, reimbursed the federal government for use of Air Force Two during the fundraising stop, pointing to a possible precedent for such repayment. Seng was elected in 2003, beating Republican city councilman Glenn Friendt. Seng received fewer votes than Friendt in the April primary, but due to a strong field campaign rebounded and beat him in the May general election. During her term she has blocked a construction of a Walmart , focused on fixing the main streets, saw the passage of a public Smoking Ban and is currently proposing a ban on Concealed Weapon s. Some see Seng's lack of business savvy has cost her the favor of the city's public opinion, where she currently has a 41% job Approval Rating . Seng is up for reelection and will likely face state Senator Chris Beutler , who will be leaving the Legislature because of Term Limits , in the democratic primary. The winner of the democratic primary will go on to face the republican challenger, which is predicted to be Ken Svoboda . EXTERNAL LINK |
