Mitchell
David D. Mitchell, who has taken out the paperwork to petition his way onto the ballot for the councilâs District 2 seat, alleged in a court filing that Jerram violated his First Amendment rights.
Mitchell is one of several people who have said they plan to challenge Councilman Ben Gray for his seat representing northeast Omaha. Jerram is not seeking reelection to his District 3 seat representing midtown and downtown.
The primary is April 6, and the general election is May 11.
Mitchellâs lawsuit stems from a Nov. 24 City Council meeting during which Jerram directed a Douglas County sheriffâs deputy to remove Mitchell from the meeting for speaking out of order.
