Despite Congressman @JeffFortenberry's earlier votes to end healthcare protections for 768,000 Nebraskans with pre-existing conditions, he should now show bipartisan leadership and choose Nebraska families over politics.

Nebraskans need immediate help...

We are facing a record surge in unemployment. The administration must reopen the Affordable Care Act enrollment period to ensure that everyone who needs it has access to health insurance...

Congress should create funding to ensure that the cost of COBRA payments for the newly unemployed are covered in the next stimulus package. Call Congressman Fortenberry’s office at (202) 225-4806 and tell him Nebraskans need health insurance now more than ever.

I care about my neighbors and my community. My whole career has been focused on serving others. That's why I ran for the Legislature in the first place, and why I work with Republicans, Democrats, and Independents to get things done for Nebraskans.

I have become increasingly frustrated watching what is happening in Washington. Now is not the time for politics as usual. It’s time for leadership.
