Working for the people. Putting people over profits. Reaching across the aisle.
That's leadership. All three. Not one without the other two.
We lost it. And we have to get it back.
This week the Center for Effective Lawmaking released its scorecard for the 108th Nebraska Legislature. I was ranked the 3rd most effective senator in the chamber, with the longest active streak of exceeding expectations of any senator in the state. Top-3 every session I served, going back to 2017.
That record was built doing all three things, for eight years, on hard issues, with people I disagreed with on plenty.
We have not forgotten how to do this. We have just stopped demanding it.
That changes now.
