HOW CAN WE HELP?

My duty as your Congressman is twofold: to develop public policy and to help you as you interact with your government. My office works diligently to help Nebraskans every day. In order for us to do this effectively, I have offices in Lincoln and Fremont, and persons based in Bellevue, Columbus, and Norfolk. You are always welcome to contact me with ideas, comments, or questions through phone, mail, and e-mail. In my office, we adjusted to the array of challenges presented by COVID-19. A foreign policy analyst to me became a PPP loan expert. A national security expert now regularly interfaces with the IRS on your behalf. A medical doctor on staff is now closely involved with the FDA, University of Nebraska Medicine, and food supply issues. All my staff are on stand by responding to your requests as soon as they come in.

NEBRASKA BREAKFAST

Every Wednesday morning, when both houses of Congress are in session, your entire federal delegation hosts a breakfast for our visitors to Washington. The oldest such gathering on Capitol Hill, the Nebraska Breakfast lets you meet the delegation, ask questions, and receive important legislative updates. If you are in Washington please join us.

YOUR WASHINGTON ADVENTURE

Our nation’s capital offers a wide variety of historic landmarks, parks, and museums, making it an excellent place for Nebraskans to visit. If you are coming to Washington, we are happy to give you information to make your trip more enjoyable. We can also help you navigate the House and Senate chambers and their beautiful and historic surroundings.

ACADEMY NOMINATIONS

Our nation’s service academies are elite institutions that build character and grit, while training students to excel in academics and military affairs. This year, we were fortunate to have another dedicated group of young people apply to serve our country. If you, or someone you know, is interested in applying to a service academy, please contact my Lincoln office.

INTERNSHIPS

From high school to college students, we employ a number of bright and capable interns in both my DC and Lincoln offices. Our interns have the opportunity to learn first-hand about the inner workings of Congress. Now, thanks to legislation I helped advance, they can get paid!

After serving in our office, many of our interns have gone on to achieve enormous success in many fields. Should you know of a young person who would like to intern in my office, please encourage them to apply.
