2024 NE Senate race: on Government Reform


Peter Ricketts: The House Jan. 6 committee was largely a partisan exercise

I think the House Committee is largely a partisan exercise. I would disregard any of the recommendations. I don't think it matters. I think voters are more concerned about what's going on with the economy and what's going to impact their family directly. If President Trump violated a law, that's up to the Justice Department, but they're gonna have to prove it. I'd be interested to see what kind of proof--it's got to be a pretty high bar to go after a former president of the United States.

Peter Ricketts: Require Voter ID to boost belief in the integrity of voting

Gov. Pete Ricketts and supportive state senators are hosting town hall meetings this week aimed at boosting a petition drive for requiring ID to vote. Ricketts and State Sen. Joni Albrecht, who attended Tuesday's meetings, said in separate interviews that the Nebraskans they're talking to on behalf of Citizens for Voter ID want to require ID to boost belief in the integrity of voting.

Dan Osborn: Pass term limits for Congress, 12 years in each chamber

It's simple: two terms in the Senate, six terms in the House. The Founders never intended for the government to be dominated by career politicians. Passing term limits requires a constitutional amendment. The threshold for passing such an amendment is high, but with 80% public support, there is truly no excuse.
