99% of Nebraska businesses are small businesses. They are the heart of our state's economy. The Working Families Tax Cuts cut taxes and red tape for small businesses. That means more money to grow and hire. I will continue fighting for small business owners and employees.

Fake Dan Osborn has spent this entire campaign selling out to coastal liberal billionaires. Now, he wants to force Nebraska gun owners to undergo mandatory government exams just to keep guns they legally own. Dan is too extreme for Nebraska.

Nebraska Senate candidate @osbornforne says he would support a gun registry, red flag laws, and a 5-year “mental evaluation” for owners of America's most popular gun platforms. This radical view would grant government control over who can exercise their constitutional rights.

Communist China is trying to steal our A.I. chip technology. That threatens American jobs and gives our adversaries a major advantage. I introduced the SAFE Chips Act to block Communist China from accessing our A.I. chips. This ensures American technology stays in American

Nebraska achieved a historically low unemployment rate while I was governor. We led the nation in economic development projects per capita. Three years in a row. We cut the growth of government spending in half. Less spending. Less red tape. More jobs for Nebraskans. I'm

Great to be at the Cattlemen's Ball last night celebrating Nebraska's ranchers. Nebraska cattle producers feed this country. They get up before sunrise, work until after dark, and do it because they love this land and this state. There is no Nebraska without our ranchers. I

Great to be with Republicans from across Nebraska at the @NEGOP Convention. Our grassroots supporters are the backbone of this state. You knock on doors, make calls, and show up because you love Nebraska and believe in what we're fighting for.

82 years ago, Americans stormed the beaches of Normandy and changed the course of history. Thousands gave their lives to defeat tyranny and defend freedom. We owe them everything. On this D-Day Anniversary, we honor the Greatest Generation. We will never forget.

This week, a federal judge struck down Nebraska's in-state tuition law for illegal immigrants. I applaud this ruling. I've fought against taxpayer handouts for illegal immigrants my entire career. As Governor, I vetoed legislation giving driver's licenses to illegals. In the

American tax dollars should not fund gender reassignment surgery. Under Biden, states used Medicaid to cover these procedures. His ACA rule threatened to strip federal funding from any provider that refused to perform them. I co-sponsored the No Subsidies for Gender Transition

Nebraska farmers and ranchers should not have to ask Washington for permission to work their own land. Biden's EPA tried to regulate ditches and wetlands on Nebraska farmland. His EV mandates threatened our ag and trucking industry. I helped introduce the CARS Act and a

Proud to sign the Fairness for Girls petition. No girl should lose her scholarship or championship spot to a biological male. Common sense should be written into our constitution. Find a petition near you and sign today!

Our schools are for educating children, not pushing gender ideology. Biden rewrote Title IX to redefine sex as gender identity. It put women and girls at risk in sports, locker rooms, and dorms across the country. I joined Senator Hyde-Smith to introduce a Congressional Review

Federal child care money is supposed to help Nebraska families, not get stolen by fraudsters in Minnesota. The owner of Future Leaders Early "Learing" Center in Minneapolis was just charged with defrauding taxpayers out of $4.6 million in federal child care funds. I'm fighting
