On Thursday, we joined Food & Friends to give back to the community. We know that community matters and we were grateful to do our small part in giving back. We valued this team exercise: together, we helped package food for hundreds of DC residents with life challenging illnesses.

Next Generation Nebraska, the only bipartisan caucus for young legislators in Nebraska, is innovating on education policy. Senators Brett Lindstrom and Adam Morfeld were profiled by The 74 for stories on how tech and the economy influences educational trends. The 74 is a nonprofit dedicated to better education for 74 million children.

Politicians across the aisle came together to remember the life and legacy of George H.W. Bush, who passed away last Friday. Bush’s funeral was held at the National Cathedral in Washington, D.C., and was attended by President Trump and former Presidents Obama, Bush, Clinton, and Carter. . On Wednesday, people across the country honored this display of unity and shared in a moment of reflection.
