GRAND ISLAND, NE – Today, U.S. Senator Pete Ricketts (R-NE) announced he will host his second “Federal Issues Forum” at the Nebraska State Fair on August 29, 2025, from 10AM-12PM CT. The event will include a legislative update from Senator Ricketts and two panel discussions on federal issues facing Nebraskans.
