Cut taxes, invest in our kids

Cut taxes, invest in our kids

Our current tax system fails Nebraskans and needs reform now. For too long, our tax code has not been competitive.We rank 29th in the country for personal income tax rate and 32nd for business income tax rate. And as all Nebraskans know, we have some of the highest property taxes in the country. From the Missouri River to Harrison, Nebraskans are demanding that their leaders have the courage to cut taxes. 01/26/2023 03:00 AM

Renewing a commitment to life

Last year was remarkable for the pro-life movement. On June 24, when the Supreme Court issued their Dobbs v. Jackson decision, it was the culmination of nearly half of a century of compassionate work by pro-life advocates and communities to serve and fight for unborn children and abortion-vulnerable mothers.Yet, as many gather in Washington for the 50th annual March for Life this week, it is a sobering and spurring reminder the work of the pro-life movement is not done. 01/26/2023 03:00 AM

Why I appointed Senatedelegate Pete Ricketts

I had the opportunity this week to appoint Nebraska’s next U.S. Senator, former Governor Pete Ricketts. Only five times in our state’s history has a Governor had this privilege. The process was not one that I took lightly. More than 110 applications were received, and nine candidates interviewed – all individuals who are accomplished and respected by Nebraskans across our state. 01/19/2023 03:00 AM
