There’s a moment in everyone’s life when you have to stand up for what you believe in. For me, that moment is now.

But I can’t do this alone. If you can give time or money, you’ll help us #flipthisseat and give Nebraskans a real voice. Join us: backnebraska.com #NE01

$170 BILLION for ICE
$40 BILLION for Argentina
$1 BILLION for Trump’s Qatari jet
$200 MILLION for Kristi Noem’s private planes

Grateful to the veterans, service members, and families who answered the call to serve.

We owe you more than words. We must honor your service with action: ensuring access to the support and opportunity you’ve earned and deserve.

I’m a fifth-generation Nebraskan and lifelong public servant. For 20 years, I served in national security under both Democrats and Republicans.

Now, I’m running for Congress.

Nebraskans work hard and look out for each other. It’s time Washington did the same. #NE01
