When you're a billionaire like Pete Ricketts, you don't worry about healthcare costs. When you work for a paycheck or a salary, you do.That's the difference between us and him. And that's why he has to go.

When I’m elected. I’m going to wake up everyday working for everyday Nebraskans, not the corporations and special interest groups that dump hundreds of millions of dollars into rigging our elections. End Citizens United!

It’s good for the hardworking men and women helping put food on our tables. It’s good for farmers. It’s good for communities. It’s good for consumers. It’s a no-brainer.

We’re facing a workforce shortage in Nebraska. The agricultural industry is no exception. To help fix this we must pass the Farm Workforce Modernization Act, which has strong bipartisan support from coast to coast.

If you buy a tractor, you should be able to fix it yourself. Right to Repair is freedom and fairness for farmers, small business owners, and consumers.

The tribal mentality of our politics isn’t just unhelpful; it’s harmful. It’s led to gridlock, growing cynicism, and a government that too often serves corporate donors and special interests instead of everyday Americans.

This isn’t left vs. right. This is big vs. little. Only 2% of our elected officials from both the House and Senate come from the working class. That’s the problem.

You know what’s fake?
