Busy morning at the Capitol followed by a gorgeous afternoon on the doors with this guy!

When the Legislature sweeps cash funds at the Governor’s request for purposes they were never meant to serve, it hurts public trust, and Nebraskans end up paying the price.

Every year we love making time to speak with Civic Leadership fellows from Omaha. This year’s cohort is so impressive and we can’t wait to see what their futures hold. Senator Hunt and Senator Fredrickson are cheering for you!

It still surprises me when colleagues talk about being a β€œteam player” - even when it doesn’t actually help the people they represent.

Our job in the Nebraska Legislature is to stand up for our constituents, not industry. I’ll keep showing up and fighting for everyday Nebraskans.

It may be snowy, but the sun is shining! β„οΈβ˜€οΈ

Another great afternoon on the doors talking with voters. Grateful for the conversations and engagement - and proud to represent LD20 every day.

A solid 10/10 day knocking doors in LD20 - and yes, I even roped my dad into joining 😎

So grateful to represent such an engaged district in the Unicameral πŸ™Œ

In the #NEleg we talk about stopping the affordability brain drain - so why was the first bill passed one that cuts wages for young Nebraskans?

LB258 says young workers are worth less and voters’ voices don’t matter. Costs are rising. We must listen and ensure wages keep up.

As #NEleg debates policy impacting students with disabilities, rhetoric matters.

The Governor’s use of outdated, derogatory language reflects the same disregard behind cuts to A&D waivers and autism services.

Nebraska can do better. Words matter. Policy matters. People matter.

Last session, I passed a bill creating β€˜Home of Arbor Day’ license plates - proceeds go directly to tree planting and conservation efforts here in Nebraska 🌲

Grateful for the honor of being named one of CSG’s 20 Under 40 - and even more grateful for the work, the people, and the purpose behind it.

This recognition reflects what’s been built so far, but it’s also a reminder that there’s much more ahead. Onward into the new year and beyondπŸ’₯

Nebraskans want leaders who solve problems. I work across the aisle every day, because that’s how we deliever real results - and that’s exactly what I’ll keep doing.

Democracy works best when everyone's voice is heard and protected. The Bill of Rights remind us that democracy is a right and a responsibility. I'm committed to protecting them, listening to you all and standing up for what's right in Nebraska. #BillofRightsDay

Small businesses are the backbone of Nebraska.

When we shop local, we’re supporting neighbors, families, and the heartbeat of our communities. This holiday season, I encourage you to #ShopLocal. 🎁

Nebraska's future starts in our classrooms, which is why supporting our teachers isn't optional.
