January 17, 2025 This week, America is closing the book on President Biden’s record of failures. His policies gave our country high prices and overregulation. The American dream became less attainable for hardworking families. Biden’s overspending, bureaucratic overreach, and anti-energy policies caused this...

The federal government has a fundamental responsibility to secure our borders. President Biden utterly failed to do that. Criminal illegal aliens have been allowed to enter and roam our country. Americans like Laken Riley died as a result. This week, I voted to advance legislation I co-lead to hold criminal illegal ...

January 3, 2024 I’m humbled and honored to have the opportunity to continue serving Nebraskans in the U.S. Senate.
