Thank you for visiting my campaign website!

It is an extraordinary privilege to represent the people of the First District of Nebraska in Congress. The First District is reflective of the wonderful diversity of Nebraska--vast rolling farmland; wildlife habitat; the Platte, Elkhorn, and Missouri Rivers; the State Capitol and Husker football; small town pride with a strong emphasis on hard work, opportunity, education, faith and family. I am proud of our heritage and proud to serve as a member of the Nebraska delegation in the United States House of Representatives.

Nebraska has much to give to our country by way of example.  Our country is facing an extraordinary number of challenges given the growing complexity of political, economic, and social problems.  Much of it stems from declining social institutions, reckless economic behavior, and a lack of spending discipline in Washington, accompanied by an unprecedented expectation that Washington can solve all problems.  You deserve a government with its fiscal house in order, a government that is accountable, and a government that is transparent. 

My priorities center on strengthening our national security, promoting entrepreneurial opportunity, creating the right type of healthcare reform, developing smart energy policy, and upholding family life and culture. The strength of the nation ultimately depends upon the strength of families and communities.

Please know of my commitment to meeting this era with fiscally prudent public policies, guided by the lasting principles of goodness and justice, and built upon the solemn traditions of our country.
