Honored to represent the people of Nebraska in the U.S. Senate.
Since President Trump took office, 198 convicted criminal illegal aliens have been removed from Nebraska. Among their crimes: - Sexual assault - Aggravated assault - Drug trafficking - Child cruelty The Trump administration is removing the worst of the worst and keeping…
Nebraska’s immigration court has a backlog of 43,910 cases, including 215 that involve criminals, national security risks, or suspected terror threats. I voted to invest $3.3B in hiring immigration judges and attorneys to clear the backlog, bring justice, and keep Nebraska safe.
The HALT Fentanyl Act helps law enforcement fight fentanyl trafficking. The One Big Beautiful Bill will help secure the border and stop fentanyl from coming into America. Law enforcement works around the clock to keep our communities safe. These bills will support their efforts.
In the first 6 months of 2025, #DEA has removed more than 216,500 #fentanyl pills and 85+ pounds of fentanyl powder from #Iowa, #Minnesota, #Nebraska, #NorthDakota & #SouthDakota. Our agents work around the 🕰️to keep our communities safe. #DEASuccesses #TakeBackAmerica
Congratulations to my good friend Rep. Mike Flood on his election as Main Street Caucus Chair! The Main Street Caucus has played a key role in advancing President Trump's agenda. Mike will continue to be a strong conservative voice with a critical seat at the table for Nebraska.
As governor, I saw firsthand the impact of the opioid crisis on our state. In 2019, Nebraska law enforcement seized 46 fentanyl pills. That number skyrocketed to 151,000 in the first half of 2022 alone. I supported the HALT Fentanyl Act to help law enforcement stop the…
One year ago, President Trump took the stage in Milwaukee and promised that America would look different under Republican leadership: - A secure border - A stronger America - Lower taxes for working families We've delivered on those promises.
The One Big Beautiful Bill delivers for Nebraska workers: ✅ No Tax on Tips ✅ No Tax on Overtime ✅ Take-home pay increased up to $9,000
In Omaha last week, ICE arrested one of El Salvador's most wanted fugitives – an MS-13 gang member wanted for five murders. Enforcing our laws makes Nebraska safer. I voted to give law enforcement the funding they need to keep our country safe. cbsnews.com/news/ice-fundi…
Nebraskans elected a team of conservatives who promised to secure the border, lower taxes, and fight inflation. With the One Big Beautiful Bill, we delivered on these promises! #ConservativeLeadershipMatters norfolkneradio.com/news/nebraskas…
Yesterday in Scottsbluff, we honored GOP Super Volunteer Barbara Martinson for her dedication to electing Republican candidates. Barbara’s passion has helped shape a stronger Nebraska. Thank you, Barbara!
One year ago, the attempt on President Trump's life in Butler, PA, reminded us that political violence is the most un-American act of all. We remember the life of Corey Comperatore. And we thank President Trump for continuing the fight as he faced threats on his life.
The One Big Beautiful Bill will help ag producers, small business owners, and rural communities in Nebraska prosper.
I voted to cut taxes for Nebraska workers, seniors, and families. The One Big Beautiful Bill delivers for Nebraskans.
Without renewing the 2017 Trump tax cuts, Nebraskans faced a massive tax hike. The One Big Beautiful Bill stops that tax hike while increasing take-home pay. I'm proud to support this legislation that allows Nebraska families to keep more of their hard-earned income.
No better place to spend Independence Day than Seward, Nebraska – America's Official Fourth of July City!
It was great to see everyone celebrating our freedoms today at the Ralston Independence Day Parade!
Today, we celebrate our brave Founders who declared America's independence, and we remember the brave men and women who have defended our liberties since. Happy Independence Day!
The price of a 4th of July cookout rose almost 20% under the Biden administration. President Trump's policies are fighting inflation. Prices are steadying, and celebrating Independence Day is more affordable for Nebraskans. fb.org/news-release/c…
From flying spy balloons to buying American land, the Chinese Communist Party is bringing its threat to our doorstep. I’m working to stop Communist China from owning American farmland. Our adversaries should never have the tools to attack us from within our own country.
"83% of hourly workers desire that No Tax on Tips becomes law." President Trump's policies are already making life more affordable. Let's pass No Tax on Tips to continue delivering for working Nebraskans! dailysignal.com/2025/06/20/wor…
