This week, Congressman Adrian Smith (NE-03) took to the House Floor to pay tribute to Robert “Bob” Busch, charter board member of Western Sugar Cooperative.
Small businesses are the backbone of our communities and the driving force behind our local economies. They are more than just storefronts and services; they are our neighbors, friends, and the familiar faces you see when you walk down Main Street.
Today, U.S. Representatives Adrian Smith (R-NE-03) and Doris Matsui (D-CA-07) introduced the PI Post Acute Access Act to expand access to life-saving care for individuals with primary immunodeficiencies (PI). Their bipartisan legislation would create a dedicated payment within Medicare for Skilled Nursing Facilities (SNF) to provide intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) treatments onsite. This would prevent dangerous treatment delays, reduce avoidable hospitalizations, and ensure vulnerable patients get the care they need when and where they need it.
Each spring, as I travel across the Third District meeting with constituents, I am reminded just how special Nebraska is. There is a peace in rural America you cannot replicate anywhere else. It is the endless Sunday morning sunrise, the crunch of gravel under your feet during an evening stroll, and the sense of community where neighbors look out for one another without hesitation. This is even clearer as neighbors continue to help neighbors as we fight the ongoing fires across our state.
“Welcome to the Good Life.” A phrase every traveler sees as they cross our state lines. For many, it’s just a slogan. But for those of us who call this state home, it’s something deeper. It’s a promise.
I see this promise fulfilled every day. I see it in conversations with students working hard to build their future, in parents balancing long days to provide for their families, and in communities coming together when it matters most. What makes Nebraska special isn’t just where we live, it’s how we live, and the value we place on family.
Today, Congressman Adrian Smith (NE-03) led his colleagues in introducing the Trump Accounts for All Generations Act to permanently extend the Trump Accounts contribution pilot program, created by the Working Families Tax Cuts, which is set to expire at the end of 2028. Smith’s legislation would ensure that every future American newborn can receive the $1,000 investment when opening a Trump Account while also indexing the $1,000 investment to inflation beginning in 2029.
Tax Day will never be anyone’s favorite holiday. There are no parades, no family gatherings, and certainly no celebrations when April 15th rolls around. For most, it’s a painful reminder of how much of their hard-earned money goes out the door.
Fortunately, thanks to the Working Families Tax Cuts, when April 15th rolls around Nebraskans will be keeping more of what they earned.
When Congress is not in session, I am meeting with constituents across the Third District. I always enjoy visiting communities and meeting with Nebraskans where they are, on the front lines of our economy. I take what I learn in these conversations back to Washington and use those insights to guide my work.
Congressman Adrian Smith (NE-03) announced today that his staff will host a caseworker-in-your-community event for constituents in Hamilton and Polk Counties on Thursday, April 16, 2026. This event is an opportunity for constituents to meet directly with one of Smith’s congressional caseworkers, who may be able to assist those with disaster recovery concerns as well as with federal agencies such as the USDA, FEMA, VA, Social Security, Medicare, USCIS, or the IRS.
