Friends and fellow Nebraskans, as we enter 2024, I want to reflect on the moments and blessings 2023 gave us.

There were many highs: House Republicans took control of the House and passed some historic bills, like the Lower Energy Costs Act and the Secure the Border Act. 

2023 was my first full year in Congress. I introduced and passed my first bill on a bipartisan basis. My office assisted hundreds of constituents to resolve issues. I traveled around the world to meet with international leaders to strengthen America’s relationships – and that’s just a few of the most significant moments.  

I am so grateful for all the opportunities to serve you in Congress this year. I came to Washington to make life better for everyone in Nebraska’s First District, and together, we can continue work to achieve even more in 2024. 

On behalf of my wife, Mandi, sons, and myself, Happy New Year. May you all have a blessed 2024.
