More than 40 protesters crowded the sidewalks near 50th and Dodge Streets Wednesday to press Democratic Senate candidate Chris Janicek to get out of the race.

But Janicek said after the protests that he’s not quitting.

Several protesters said they gathered near Janicek’s Cupcake Omaha to show that Democrats are willing to ramp up the pressure.

Many attendees expressed disgust at the sexually graphic text messages Janicek sent five campaign staffers, including his now-former finance director Allison Bitterman, who filed a formal complaint with the state party.

2. I Regret To Say That I Voted For Him In The Primary

After I dropped off my mail-in ballot I learned something about 1 of the other candidates that I was unfamiliar with that I then felt more aligned with but too late. Janicek is now acting like a Republican, being so full of himself. Step down Janicek. Step Down.
