An exceedingly common question I get in clinic, especially in the heart of a South Dakota winter, is how to remedy dry skin. And the questions aren’t just in clinic; my own kids, family, friends, everyone seems to have an occasional problem with dry and irritated skin.

The House of Representatives passed two impeachment articles against Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas.

My eighth and final regular session as a Nebraska state senator is coming to a close. During these final days, a lot of sentimental words have been exchanged, recognizing the friendships that have developed between many senators as we served together in the Unicameral. As special as those friendships may be, they are not the reason I ran for the Legislature in 2016 or ran for reelection in 2020. I ran because I wanted to serve Nebraskans and promote the conservative values that the residents of District 43 believe in.

“I believe I have the votes.” Those six words have become the curse of the Nebraska Legislature. The buzzkill.

One of the bills that I have brought to the floor this session concerns public power and private renewable energy generators. LB 399 has been prioritized by Senator Bostelman. This bill is about how privately-owned intermittent generators of “renewable” energy fit into our unique public power system we have in Nebraska. This is a subject I've worked on my entire eight years in the legislature. After scores of meetings with public power and the Power Review Board (PRB) last fall and numerous amendments, I believe this bill helps find the right fit for renewable energy inside of our unique Public Power State.
