I am overjoyed to receive the endorsement from @emilyslist.bsky.social, an organization that I have worked side-by-side with for years in our work to support women running for office up and down the ballot. Let’s go!

I’m honored to have Rep. Annie Kuster’s endorsement. As a longtime leader in Congress, she knows what it takes to deliver for hardworking Americans. When I get to Congress, I will never stop fighting for hardworking Nebraskans to lower costs and improve people’s lives.

This ignores the will of Nebraskans and is part of a broader pattern: Washington politicians putting party loyalty over the needs of working families. In Congress, I’ll keep fighting for fair elections, working families, and leadership that actually reflects our Nebraska values.

I went on KMTV to push back against new MAGA efforts to redraw Nebraska Congressional districts and rig the system to protect their power, calling out Donald Trump and Washington Republicans for trying to tilt the playing field in their favor. Watch here:

I love getting to celebrate the rich cultures of our communities, and South Omaha is a real gem! We had the best time at 2025 Fiestas Patrias!

This should be common sense but for far too long our representatives have prioritized special interests over the health (physical AND economic) of our communities. And it needs to stop.

We must also use the power of the government to negotiate prescription drug prices and advocate for greater transparency so you’re not surprised by a massive bill you can’t pay.

We have GOT to do better and in Congress I’ll work hand in hand with experts to increase access to care, increase our pool of primary care doctors and surgeons (especially in rural parts of our state), and increase reimbursement rates for Medicaid so more providers can accept it.

The policies being handed down by the Trump admin are making an already overburdened system even harder to navigate. And Don Bacon’s vote to cut Medicaid for 78,000 Nebraskans is like pulling out the bottom piece of a Jenga game - it just makes the whole thing even more unstable.

Last night I attended an event for the Metro Omaha Medical Society and chatted with Omaha-area physicians. They’re worried about healthcare policy, from Medicaid cuts to the lack of providers. Here’s what we’re seeing🧵:

On this day, 24 years later, we remember the tragic events of 9/11. I joined community members at Fire Station #1 in Downtown Omaha as we honored the fallen first responders and all who perished that day. May we never forget those who sacrificed themselves to save others.

For too many Nebraskans, the Good Life is getting harder to come by. I’m running for Congress because it's time to step up for our families, our schools, and our communities – they deserve better than what we’re getting from Washington. We don’t need more lip service —we need action.

Under Trump’s tax bill, average household energy costs in Nebraska will increase by more than $500 per family every year 😳 Hardworking Nebraskans simply cannot afford this. www.cnn.com/2025/06/27/c...

It is clearer by the day that our community is ready for change. We deserve a representative in Washington that gives a damn and is going to fight for all of us. I’m ready to get to work for you in Congress — let’s do this!

Can I just say…the response to this campaign has been incredible! Our second ever event was last night and 120+ of you showed up. Every conversation is an honor and it’s truly a privilege to carry your stories with me on the campaign trail.

ICYMI: This morning Don Bacon voted YES to gutting Medicaid, raising healthcare costs, and raising taxes on some Nebraskans to pay for huge tax cuts for his richest donors and Elon Musk. Help me bring common sense and courage back to DC: secure.actblue.com/donate/dpfc-...
