Evangelos Argyrakis of Omaha is running to represent Nebraska's 2nd Congressional District.

Argyrakis, 59, was an immigration attorney for about 25 years before he ran for state attorney general in 2018, joining the race because no Democrat was challenging Republican incumbent Doug Peterson. He dropped out of the race after he was charged with choking his father. He later pleaded no contest to abusing him, leading the Nebraska Supreme Court to disbar him.

In a phone interview Monday, Argyrakis said he wants to focus on immigration issues and affordability. He also said of his candidacy, "I'll be honest. In some ways, I'm doing this to resurrect myself."

In the years since his conviction, multiple women have filed for harassment protective orders against Argyrakis, accusing him of harassment and stalking, according to court documents. Douglas County District Court has granted two protective orders this year.
