Ricketts Hosts Town Halls Across Nebraska

WASHINGTON, D.C. – This week, U.S. Senator Pete Ricketts (R-NE) hosted three town halls across Nebraska. The town halls took place in Kearney, Valentine, and Scottsbluff. Senator Ricketts gave an update on his work in Washington, D.C. He also answered questions directly from Nebraskans.

“As Governor and now as Senator, I’ve made it a priority to be accessible to Nebraskans,” said Ricketts. “These town halls are one of many ways I stay connected to the priorities and values of my constituents. I’ll continue fighting every day to make sure Nebraskans’ voices are heard in Washington.”

The events drew strong attendance from community members. During each stop, Ricketts highlighted his ongoing efforts to secure the southern border, deliver meaningful tax relief, and support Nebraska agriculture. Constituents raised questions on a range of issues, including taxes, foreign affairs, and serving Nebraska.

Ricketts also presented a legislative update to the Lincoln Chamber of Commerce luncheon, and took questions, this week. 

In 2024, Ricketts held 87 public events in Nebraska. His constituent services team held Mobile Office Hours in all 93 Nebraska counties – twice. These events were part of nearly 700 outreach events held in 2024. In addition, Ricketts’ team helped nearly 800 Nebraskans access federal services.
