Welcoming Secretary Rollins to Nebraska alongside Governor Pillen provided a tremendous opportunity to showcase Nebraska’s world-leading livestock, crop, and biofuels producers. As we mark 163 years since the signing of the Homestead Act, agriculture remains the economic driver.
After nearly 100 days of traveling America & hearing from farmers, I’m proud to launch the 1st set of policy proposals under our new Make Agriculture Great Again Initiative! 🇺🇸. Our Farmers First policy agenda is focused on Small Family Farms, like Ohnoutka Family Farm in NE! 🚜

Very encouraged ECCA was included in the package my colleagues and I reported out of @WaysandMeansGOP. I will continue working with my House and Senate colleagues on a legislative product which will meaningfully impact as many students as possible and safeguard parental choice.
In @WaysandMeansGOP, @RepAdrianSmith said it best: the ECCA is about “empowering parents and children to pursue a brighter future with quality education.”. Thank you for your leadership on the ECCA. #SchoolChoice #ECCA

As a cosponsor of @RepDonBacon’s Law Enforcement Officer Safety Act, I supported its House passage to empower qualified LEOs by extending their concealed carry privileges. This #NationalPoliceWeek I am working with @HouseGOP to support those who keep our communities safe.

Steps to realign our trade relationship with China, such as this weekend’s talks in Geneva, are encouraging. Nevertheless, as the CCP seeks to expand its own influence, the United States cannot sit idly by. Read my latest on Standing up to the Chinese Communist.

This afternoon I joined @BBC World News America to talk trade policy. The deal President Trump negotiated with the UK secures $5 billion in new market access for American products, including beef and biofuels and opens the door to further level the playing field.

I’m pleased the Trump administration has struck an initial trade deal with one of our nation's greatest trade partners and longest-standing allies. This is a significant step toward eliminating barriers to American products in foreign markets and friendshoring supply chains. I

80 years ago today, World War II ended in Europe with the unconditional surrender of Nazi Germany. The victory, paid for in blood by American and Allied troops, turned the tide of history and liberated the free world.

With my support, @HouseGOP has passed legislation to prohibit federal funding for colleges or universities maintaining programs tied to the Chinese Communist Party. Safeguarding American students, intellectual property, and taxpayer dollars from China’s malign influence is.
