Watch me pop off here:



My staff, Deena and Kristina, are stars. They own our success, and the care they take with constituents, research on bills, and preparation for committee, floor debate, and events is what makes me so excited to come to work every day. I am lucky to have them (and so are you!)
Overall, I can say with pride that I didn't leave anything on the table, I picked my battles, and I did as much as I could. I balanced the firmness of my convictions with doing what's best for my district and for Nebraska. And I did this as part of a team of 49 senators + staff.
So, thanks for trusting me to make tough choices on your behalf. I'm know I'm elected for a good time, not a long time, and this is the privilege of my life.
And to those of you who aren't in my beautiful home state of Nebraska, please come visit and be my guest in Omaha! You will fall in love with this wide open space and with the people I have promised my future to. There is no place--and no Legislature--like Nebraska.
