Americans elected President Trump and Senate Republicans to get our country back on track.  That means safer streets, more money in your pocket, and excellent customer service.  I’m proud of the work we did this year.  We’re delivering for Nebraskans.  I continue to do what I did as Governor...
The holidays are a special time in Nebraska.  We volunteer to serve our communities.  Families and friends spend more time together.  But for too many Nebraskans, the holidays can be lonely.  Families are increasingly spread apart.  Digital connections are good, but it’s not the sa...

Our law enforcement officers work hard to prevent crime and protect families.  They face danger, act fast, and serve with courage.  I continue to work with my Republican colleagues to end the Schumer Shutdown and support our law enforcement officers. Recently, the Nebraska State Patrol seized ...
