Powell beat out a crowded field of Democrats, including her closest competitor, State Senator John Kavanaugh, in an often contentious race that saw an influx of outside spending.
Though the race was still too close to call on Tuesday night, Powell left her watch party in the lead and looking towards November.
Powell will face off with Republican Brinker Harding in the general election.

With the retirement of five-term Republican Congressman Don Bacon, Democrats are hoping to flip a House seat in the so-called Blue Dot of Nebraska's 2nd District.

The Democratic primary is crowded with seven names on the ballot.
One of those candidates has already dropped out, and three of them are likely to garner most of the vote.
But in Nebraska, much of the conversation about the race has been dominated by an influx of negative advertising.
A dozen PACs have spent more than $5 million on ads during the primary, mostly supporting candidate Denise Powell and opposing John Kavanaugh.
