I also want to thank all the teachers who encourage students to exercise their talent and creativity."
One of the most rewarding aspects of serving Nebraska's Third Congressional District is the opportunities I get to engage with young people interested in government service. This spring, I've welcomed students from Bayard, Oakland-Craig, Boone Central, Summerland, and Doniphan-Trumbull schools, as well as Peru State College, to our nation's capital. Fielding students' questions is always a pleasure, and I deeply appreciate their thoughtful feedback and ideas about the issues we are working on in the U.S. House of Representatives.
