Representative Omer Madison Kem

Omer Madison Kem (born November 13, 1855) was a Populist politician who represented Nebraska in the United States House of Representatives during the late nineteenth century. Serving as a member of the Populist Party, he emerged as part of the broader agrarian and reform movements that shaped American politics in that era.

Kem served as a U.S. Representative from Nebraska’s 6th Congressional District, holding office for three terms. His tenure in Congress began on December 7, 1891, and continued until March 3, 1897. During this period, he was officially designated as a Representative and is recorded as a historical member of Congress. Although specific committee assignments, legislative initiatives, and post-congressional activities are not provided in the available information, his service from 1891 to 1897 places him among the key Populist figures who brought the concerns of farmers and rural communities into the national political arena.
