We know how to win #NE02 - Join the movement! #healthcare #jobs #affordablehousing #loweringcostsofliving #servantleadership - Lets do this #Nebraska #veteran #militaryspouse #healthcareprovider #family #community - The voters determine their representative - not anyone else!
These 17 swing districts are the Democrats’ best chance to take control of the House in 2026.

Democrats in ALL 50 STATES need to support these races.

This is the only path to flipping the House.

Whether you donate money or donate your time, every action counts.

Thank you to everyone who came together to make the #Veterans Day Parade such a meaningful event. From assembling poppy cards throughout the week to braving the cold to honor our veterans and their families, your spirit of unity and service reflects the best of who we are as #Nebraskans.

November is Diabetes Awareness Month.

This is personal for me. I lost my parents due 2 heart disease, a complication of their #diabetes. They left us far too early from a preventable disease. As a healthcare provider & publichealth professional, I believe in more prevention to prevent chronic dz.

Health insurance costs are projected to rise nearly 30% next year. Without affordable access, families can’t afford regular checkups and diseases go undetected. We need leaders who understand health care from the inside and know how to fix the system.
Exclusive: Average Obamacare premiums are set to rise 30 percent, documents show.

The price increases — affecting up to 17 million Americans who buy coverage on the federal marketplace — are by far the largest annual premium increases in recent years.

The average new car in America now costs over $50k, another sign that Washington has lost touch with working families. While corporations and luxury automakers profit, middle-class Americans are paying the price at the dealership and the repair shop.

It's National Be Nice Day!

Kindness is strength in action. It’s what keeps our communities connected, our families grounded, and our workplaces humane.

Here in Nebraska, we call it Nebraska Nice — a way of life built on respect, hard work, and lending a hand when someone needs it.
