    Hi from one of the best places to live in the U.S.!👋 @livability just recognized Lincoln as one of the Top 100 Best Places to Live in 2025! With a strong community, robust economy, and plentiful opportunities, there’s so much to love about #LNK.

    Let’s mask up, save lives, speed our economic recovery, and set an example for our children. This won’t last forever...in fact it will all be over sooner if we do this together now.

    Best advice I received from previous #LNK mayors: “Don’t cancel Halloween.” As if!

    My job as your mayor is to tell you the truth. So, I’ll be honest – I am gravely concerned about where we are right now and where we are headed if we don’t get this virus under control in our community.

    Thank you to everyone who is wearing a mask in our community. After three weeks of a mask requirement, we can now say, with evidence, that it’s working. Our COVID-19 case numbers have significantly declined week over week since our community began to follow the mask requirement.

    Let's bring back Takeout Tuesday to sustain #LNK's economy while enjoying delicious local food at home! Some of the spots my family enjoys include Cultiva, Yia Yia's, and Honest Abe's. What about yours?

    I am focused every minute on doing the job that the people of Lincoln elected me to do. Right now, that includes working with the City Council and our Health Department to lead the city through an unprecedented global pandemic. (1/2)

    One of these things is not like the others! The wall of Lincoln’s mayors at City Hall has a new addition. What a year it’s been so far.

    Incredibly pleased to report that, today, #LNK-Lancaster County ranks NUMBER ONE in the state for the percentage of residents fully vaccinated. We have consistently been in the top third out of the 19 local health districts in recent weeks. Awesome work, @LNKhealth.👏 #VaxLNKLanc

    I think it’s safe to say in 2020 that there has never been greater appreciation for the skills and talents of teachers. Your students miss you, and their parents miss you more. Happy National Teacher Day!
