Check out the highlights from yesterday's press conference on Pete Ricketts ONCE AGAIN trying to buy a Nebraska election with daddy's money.
Held a press conference today to highlight Pete Ricketts and his family once again trying to BUY a Nebraska election. Ricketts is deeply unpopular with little grassroots support, so he leans on checks from daddy instead. He can't win on his ideas, so he resorts to lies and dishonest campaign tricks
I will fight like hell to PRESERVE your Social Security benefits so you can retire with dignity.
In 2006, Tyson gutted their Norfolk plant so no competitor could buy it. It's sat empty ever since. Now they've closed Lexington instead of selling it, killing competition and manipulating cattle prices. That breaks the Packers and Stockyards Act. Tyson shouldn't be above the law.
Stopped in to the Monowi Tavern in Monowi, NE and met the legendary Elsie Eiler. Monowi holds a Guinness World Record for the smallest town in America, with one sole resident…Elsie Eiler. She’s also the owner, bartender and cook of the tavern, as well as the town librarian, tax collector and mayor.
If you've never been to the Wayne Chicken Show in Wayne, Nebraska, you're missing out on something eggs-traordinary! The show hatched in 1981 and features a lively downtown parade, a legendary Cluck-Off, and enough hen-tertainment to last all year. Worth the trip, no yolk.
There is so much natural beauty in Nebraska. Meadows. Sandhills. Prairies. Rivers. Waterfalls. Visited Fort Niobrara yesterday. Take a minute to breathe it in.
Periodic reminder that Pete Ricketts voted for months to protect the pedophiles in the Epstein Files. He thinks there are bigger issues than keeping your children safe and holding pedophiles accountable
Carhenge is one of Nebraska's most ICONIC tourist spots. If you've never visited, you need to.
Yard party in Scottsbluff. 125 strong! Thank you to everyone who came out. Had a great time.
Today I’m in the geographic dead center of Nebraska, about 10 miles out from Broken Bow. This land is beautiful. We need to protect the water below it from Wall Street and Silicon Valley who are already scheming to buy up our farmers’ water rights for their data centers.
Most of our elected officials can’t relate to the plights of working people. We deserve REAL representation. I’m running for hardworking Nebraskans who can’t afford to buy a Senator.
'Surveillance pricing' is when companies use your data to charge you more. Your browsing. Your income. Your mouse movements. Data brokers sell it to corporations who want to find your "pain point," the highest price you'll pay. Surveillance pricing is wrong. I'll vote to ban it.
People who consume marijuana should be able to purchase and possess firearms. This is common sense. Unfortunately, there was a longstanding federal law that made it a crime for a person who is an "unlawful user of or addicted to any controlled substance" to have a gun.
Pete Ricketts made $3.1 million in the stock market last month. The corruption is astounding. Ban congressional stock trading.
The Railway Safety Act is not some "liberal" piece of legislation. Republican JD Vance is one of its original co-sponsors! Unsurprisingly, the railroad lobby is against this bill. So is Pete Ricketts who takes their money! I support this bill and I take ZERO dollars from the railroads.
Pete Ricketts has taken hundreds of thousands of dollars from the railroad lobby. Union Pacific. BNSF. CSX. Norfolk Southern. Unsurprisingly, he's cheering on the Union Pacific/Norfolk Southern merger that would GUT competition for Nebraska farmers and jack up prices for the rest of us.
Union Pacific and Norfolk Southern want to merge into one massive railroad monopoly. Railroad mergers: • Make shipping more expensive for farmers. Less competition means railroads can charge whatever they want. •Raise prices for consumers. When shipping costs go up, the price of everything goes up.
Here's what the people of Nebraska think of Pete Ricketts and Ted Cruz doing campaign events together.
BREAKING: Two most unlikable people in America hold campaign rally together.
Right to Repair is simple: if you own something, you should be able to fix it or take it to a technician you trust. But for decades, big corporations have chipped away at this right by making repairs difficult, expensive, or even impossible.
Today we submitted our signatures to get on the ballot this November. A candidate must submit 4,000 signatures to qualify. We turned in more than 12,700. See you in November, Pete.
I'm proud NOT to be a Democrat. I'm proud to NOT be a Republican. I'm proud to be a lifelong Independent and want to help this country break out of our two-party doom loop.
