Cut taxes, invest in our kids

Thu, 01/26/2023 - 5:00am

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.

Why I appointed Senatedelegate Pete Ricketts

Thu, 01/19/2023 - 5:00am

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.
