When I am not fighting for Nebraskans in Washington, I am back home meeting with constituents across Nebraska’s Third District. From Kimball to Auburn,Valentine to Superior, and everywhere in between, the conversations I have with Nebraskans help shape my work in Congress.There is no substitute for hearing directly from the people I represent, and every visit gives me a better understanding of how I can better serve our state.
Another priority of mine is supporting our communities by creating more opportunities for people to engage in meaningful ways with their government and our nation’s history. Earlier this week, I was pleased to join local leaders and community members in Gering to welcome the Freedom 250 Truck at the Gering Civic Center.This traveling museum, one of only six touring the country, is helping educate Americans about our nation’s rich history as we continue to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the United States. It was a privilege to help bring this unique exhibit to western Nebraska and celebrate our shared heritage close to home.
From Gering, I traveled throughout western Nebraska to visit with community leaders and hear firsthand how decisions in Washington are affecting the communities I serve. One stop was the Western Nebraska Veterans Home, where I always enjoy visiting with residents and staff. I appreciate Administrator Stavely and the entire team for the outstanding care they provide to the veterans who have sacrificed so much for our country. Hearing directly from residents about their experiences helps me better understand how Congress can continue supporting those who have served.
