Democrats dominated Nebraska until 1860. In 1890, Democrat William Jennings Bryan ran for President three times but lost every time. The state has elected more Democrats to the governor seat and into Congress.
Nebraska passed a referendum in 1937 and it is the country's only unicameral legislature known as the Nebraska Unicameral. It is a nonpartisan single-house system.[1]
The Nebraska Democratic Party holds none of the state's six statewide offices, none of the state's U.S. House seats, and one of the state's U.S. Senate seats.
