Team Nebraska. 💪 Thank you to our congressional delegation for supporting my request to @POTUS for a major disaster declaration for the storm and flood damage suffered in eastern Nebraska earlier this fall.
This fall, Nebraska experienced heavy rain and severe flooding across our eastern counties. These storms damaged property and displaced Nebraskans from their homes. I joined the Nebraska delegation in asking the administration for a major disaster declaration. Nebraskans are resilient. I encourage the administration to work alongside state and local authorities to help our communities rebuild.

By early next year, 75% of Americans will live under state governments that favor higher taxes, less liberty, bloated bureaucracies, defunding police, and eroded protections of core values. But these Americans have a choice. There remain states where these things are not only protected, they are championed. Nebraska leads among them. If you believe in faith, family, and hard work, Nebraska is for you. If you value the rule of law, strong law enforcement, and the safest communities in America, Nebraska is for you. If you want great schools for your kids and tremendous career opportunities for your family, Nebraska is for you. If you want your neighbors to be the kindest, most generous, and hardest working people on earth, Nebraska is for you. Come visit, meet our amazing people, and see why the Good Life is for you. 🇺🇸 thegoodlifeiscalling.com/

Cap. Cover. Cut. 🏠 Cap the home valuations that are crushing family budgets. 🏫 Cover the cost of Nebraska’s schools with the state finally meeting its constitutional obligation to our kids. 💰 Cut property taxes to ensure Nebraskans are able to stay in their homes. I will be on the frontlines of holding the Legislature accountable to the expectations of our people. And if they fail, I will make sure the people—Nebraska’s Second House—are heard loud and clear on the ballot.

My cabinet and I are grateful for the opportunity to continue serving Nebraskans! We will continue to run government like a business, protect our values, and fight for Nebraska. Our four pillars remain the same: Kids, Taxes, Agriculture, and Values.

This morning I went straight to the office, joined my partner Lieutenant Governor Joe Kelly, huddled with our team, and got back to doing the people’s work. We are more energized than ever to build the agenda and form the relationships necessary to win for Nebraska. We are back at it, with sleeves rolled up, humbled by the trust and hopes of the people we serve. Together we can. 💪 🇺🇸

Nebraska continues to lead the way! At 7.5%, Nebraska has the second-lowest supplemental poverty rate in the nation, outperforming our neighboring states, where rates range from 8% to 10.8%. We’re working hard to ensure Nebraska remains a place where families can thrive, opportunities are abundant, and every Nebraskan has the chance to succeed!

Opportunity Zones 2.0 Update Nebraska’s 28 Opportunity Zone nominations have been approved by @USTreasury! Starting in 2027, these 28 census tracts will benefit from new investment opportunities, fewer government barriers, and greater potential for economic growth. More investment, stronger communities, and greater opportunities for Nebraskans! #GoodLifeGreatBusiness Full Map: gis.ne.gov/portal/apps/insta…

First Lady Suzanne and I had the honor of recognizing five spouses of recently retired @NENationalGuard members by presenting them with the new Nebraska National Guard Military Spouse Service Ribbon. This new ribbon recognizes the meritorious service, sacrifice, and invaluable contributions military spouses make to the readiness of the Nebraska Army and Air National Guard. Behind the brave men and women who answer the call to serve are spouses and families who make sacrifices that often go unseen. Thank you to all military spouses for your unwavering support, dedication, and service to those who serve our state and nation!

Nebraska ranks #1 in the nation for jobs! With one of the nation’s lowest unemployment rates, the 11th-highest number of job opportunities, and the 3rd-best job security, it’s no wonder Nebraska tops the charts. The Good Life is OPEN for business! Story ➡️ wallethub.com/edu/best-state…

Yesterday, our Southwest Nebraska Energy Tour stopped at an ethanol plant in Trenton. Here in Nebraska, cornfields are oilfields! 🌽 Nebraska-grown energy provides massive value for our farmers and supports American energy independence. 🇺🇸

Visited Trenton and joined families, workers, and community leaders to discuss how the state is supporting Nebraska’s energy sector and the water resources that are so precious in this part of our state. On my watch we increased the state’s investment in the Perkins County Canal project and sued Colorado to secure the water rights to which our producers are entitled.

My Southwest Nebraska Energy Tour continues with a visit to Berexco’s Spring Canyon oil field in Hitchcock County. This is value for Nebraska landowners and energy dominance for America. 🇺🇸
