After difficult years like 2019, I find it even more important to remember the true meaning of Christmas. It is about gathering with our loved ones to celebrate the love God gave in gifting to the world his only son.
In 1987, President Ronald Reagan spoke about the "most wonderful time of year" and the beauty of treating all our neighbors with love and kindness. This Christmas let us find it in our hearts to walk with each other in the light of Christ and appreciate God's gift.
Merry Christmas, and I wish all Nebraskans a safe and happy holiday season.

There is much work to be done in Washington. A massive trade deal is pending with the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA), prescription drug prices and health care costs continue to rise, and our southern border needs additional resources.

While Nebraskans have faced many challenges this year, particularly in our agriculture industry, the United States economy remains strong overall. Unemployment is at a 50-year low, wages are rising, and the GDP has been even higher than projected.
