Thank you, Congressman!
The Platte Institute stated today that the average Nebraskan will face an average tax increase of $2,443 if Congress lets the 2017 Tax Cut and Jobs Act expire this year. That is a terrible option that we cannot let happen. My goal is to make the individual tax rates permanent.
👏🏼👊🏼
Big win for good governance in Nebraska! The Legislature has unanimously passed LB 660, a package of reforms to modernize regulations, boost transparency, and empower Nebraskans. On to the Governor’s desk! #NELeg

Nebraska’s budget shortfall isn’t about tax cuts, it’s about unchecked spending. In his latest email, @Jim_Vokal urges lawmakers to protect tax reform and take a hard look spending that subsidizes local tax increases. It's time to ask what is the ROI on this new spending.
