    Work with the President and seek compromise. To say “not a single dollar for the wall” is zero compromise and fuels this gridlock.

    You own the shutdown—your own words, . The Senate UNANIMOUSLY passed a bipartisan solution to avoid a shutdown. Then you threw another temper tantrum and convinced the House to ignore that compromise.

    Another outstanding month of very low unemployment. We can’t stop though until all areas of our district and state share in this growing economy.

    It was an honor to meet with Deputy Minister for Trade Yong-rae Kim from South Korea. We discussed the KORUS trade agreement, and the positive impact it has on both countries (and NE ag). South Korea is Nebraska’s 2nd largest market for beef. KORUS is great for Nebraska!

    Seeking an agreement on border security must trump partisanship & hate for the President. Let’s find a compromise & make a bipartisan agreement that secures our border. We shouldn’t need a gov shutdown to find a compromise solution. Read my statement here:

    We have had recent victories against ISIS and as a result, they are underground. However, we must not create a void and put our gains at risk. ISIS could regroup if we are not careful. Listen to my interview with KETV here:

    We must not give the worlds’ largest state sponsor of terror a free hand in attacking American interests and innocent civilians.  This legislation will apply maximum pressure on Iran.

    Big congrats to Dee Hanson on her retirement and our thanks for 41 great years of service in AF and STRATCOM. I served with Dee when I was a lieutenant in the late 1980’s at the 544 IAS and she’s been a friendly professional and team player from day #1. ⁦⁩

    W/ deaths from fentanyl overdoses exceeding deaths from heroin overdoses, Congress is committed to solving America's substance abuse crisis. Now we must tighten our borders, develop a strong national defense, & provide alternatives to those suffering.
