LB 773 would have reaffirmed Nebraskans' constitutional right to keep and bear arms. I am sorry to see it fail in the NELeg today. Senator Tom Brewer's leadership took this measure farther than it has ever gotten, and the majority of Nebraskans are grateful for his effort. #2A — PolitiTweet.org

Susanne and I are praying for the community of Elwood as they mourn the loss of Elwood Volunteer Fire Department Chief Darren Krull. Chief Krull died while serving his community in the line of duty. He is a true hero. — PolitiTweet.org

Thanks to Speaker @mikehilgers, Chair of Revenue Committee @LouAnnLinehan, and the entire NELeg for passing LB 873 and delivering meaningful tax relief to Nebraska. — PolitiTweet.org

Pete Ricketts @PeteRicketts

Over the past eight years, the NELeg and I have worked to control government spending. It’s enabled the passage of the largest tax cut in Nebraska’s history. I look forward to signing LB873 to return money to the hardworking people of Nebraska. — PolitiTweet.org

Nebraska is a pro life state. Let’s affirm the right to life for our unborn girls and boys. — PolitiTweet.org

This week, several states have passed laws impacting the most vulnerable among us. Unborn babies in CO have been stripped of their right to life, and can now be killed through the entire pregnancy, up until birth. Meanwhile, unborn babies in OK will be protected. — PolitiTweet.org

“This is the best story I’ve heard in awhile…” thanks @glennbeck for having me on to share on the fight against big govt socialism in Nebraska. Nebraskans: contact your state senator & urge them to sustain my veto of LB 1073 ahead of tomorrow’s vote! https://t.co/XEuYpjOZH2 — PolitiTweet.org

Pete Ricketts @PeteRicketts

The Biden admin is trying to pit urban & rural Nebraskans against each other in its push to make more people reliant on the federal govt. Nebraskans: call your state senator & tell them to sustain my veto of LB 1073! ICYMI on @seanhannity yesterday: https://t.co/KtTYiyAMRG — PolitiTweet.org

"Slava Ukraini!" That was how Omaha's Lexi Fedoronko ended her message today. She's worried about her grandparents, who are still in Ukraine - so this brave girl asked her fellow Nebraskans to keep showing their support! Thank you, Lexi! https://t.co/GpYPaJ1fnZ — PolitiTweet.org

Nebraska’s Ukrainian community shared an important reminder today. Another thing we can do for Ukraine: Pray. https://t.co/DhhGl6cvap — PolitiTweet.org

You can read more about the statewide effort and see a list for ways Nebraskans can donate to Ukraine here: https://t.co/dxiqKhyp4n — PolitiTweet.org

Thanks to @IAGovernor Reynolds for working to get IA and NE's donations to Ukraine. Soon, those defending their homeland will have more protective gear-- straight from the Heartland. — PolitiTweet.org

Pete Ricketts @PeteRicketts

Our state agencies worked to to collect donations of out-of-warranty body armor from state and local law enforcement across NE. Some officers even generously donated individually. In total, 550 pieces of protective equipment were loaded onto a plane bound for Ukraine. — PolitiTweet.org

Pete Ricketts @PeteRicketts

Ukrainians have bravely withstood Russia’s unprovoked invasion for more than a month. As the Ukrainian people defend their homeland, they have an immense need for protective gear. At a news conference today, I shared that Nebraska has stepped up to help meet this need. — PolitiTweet.org

However, the Chair of the Judiciary Committee is holding 17 reasonable policies hostage to push four soft-on-crime measures that would have a large, negative impact on public safety. More here: https://t.co/X1POUGY5Aj — PolitiTweet.org

Pete Ricketts @PeteRicketts

The NELeg has the opportunity pass smart criminal justice reforms to enhance public safety & benefit all Nebs. These changes will allow us to better manage our inmate population & provide modern resources to prepare them for life after prison—without compromising public safety. — PolitiTweet.org

ICYMI: the February jobs report is out. NE still has the lowest unemployment rate in the U.S. With over 1 mil employed, we have 16,252 more Nebraskans in the workforce than we did pre-COVID. If you’re looking for opportunity, the Good Life is calling! https://t.co/F12vG3U8WL — PolitiTweet.org

Just visited McLean Beef in York. Nebraska’s locally owned businesses are the pinnacle of Nebraska grit. Thanks to the McLean family for showing me around! Next time you’re in York, check out their restaurant, market, or 24/7 meat vending machine. (You heard that right!) https://t.co/sUbV5HdBvj — PolitiTweet.org
