What happens now to the ballot initiatives?

With the recent election behind us, voters may be asking what happens now to the ballot questions that passed or failed? Initiative 434 passed and will place into our state constitution our current state law which protects the unborn after twelve weeks gestation.

Over the hundreds of visits I’ve had with Nebraskans these past few months, one issue keeps rising to the top: everything still costs too much.

A leader rejects passivity, accepts responsibility and leads courageously. However, in politics, “leaders” often pander to those with the loudest voices, have the largest “identity groups”, and have the broadest appeals.

Thank a Farmer Today

As Third District farmers round out the fall harvest season, it is an appropriate time to note how hard agriculture producers work to feed and fuel the world and how this drives our state’s economy.
