Celebrating The Good Life

On March 1st, Nebraskans celebrated 159 years of statehood. It was a moment to reflect on the people and values that built our state and the pioneer spirit that continues to define us today.

From the earliest settlers who broke the prairie sod to the families who continue to farm and ranch the land today, Nebraska has always been shaped by people who believe in hard work, perseverance, and looking out for their neighbors. Over a century later, I am proud to say that same pioneer spirit has not faded with time and in many ways, is stronger than ever.
