Dear Fellow Nebraskans, 

Suzanne and I have felt the outpouring of prayer and support from Nebraskans across the state and friends across the country. I was humbled by my horseback riding accident, but by God’s grace—and some extraordinarily talented Nebraska doctors and nurses—I am back on my feet and hard at work. It has been a life-giving experience, and it’s helped reinvigorate me for what’s most important in life: God, family, and serving this great state. 

We have work to do to bring more commonsense conservative solutions to the state. We earned some hard-fought victories the first two years of my administration. 

At long last, the overall tax burden on Nebraskans is LESS than it was before, and for the first time in a generation, Nebraska homeowners opened their property tax statements to find they owed LESS than the year before. 

These are great wins, but we’re not done yet. We’re going to keep our focus on protecting our kids, promoting Nebraska agriculture, defending Nebraska values, and continuing to lead efforts to fix property taxes in our state. 

Earlier this year, I addressed the new legislature with the annual State of the State speech and presented the state’s new budget. 

• We’re helping parents fight back against Big Tech by ending social media’s unhealthy grip on the wellbeing of our kids by banning phones in schools.  
• Protecting our daughters and granddaughters with the Stand with Women Act. 
• Bringing back “Winner Take All” legislation to unify Nebraska’s voice at the national level. 
• Giving Nebraska families a break by fixing our broken tax system—and making sure we shrink government spending in our state. 
• Standing up for Nebraska’s farmers and ranchers—always. We’re fighting back against dishonest “fake meat” products and eliminating red tape and redundancies by streamlining the government. 

There’s a lot here, but this is the work you elected us to do—and we’re going to get it done. It’s an honor to serve this state. 

I recently joined other leaders in Washington D.C. to witness history as President Trump returned to the White House. His incoming administration has a mandate to advance conservatism—and Nebraskans look forward to being a part of that work. 

I also was honored to be invited by President Trump to join him and other Governors at Mar-a-Lago. I came home excited by the promise held by the next few months. It is morning again in America, with the return of a President committed to making America strong, safe, prosperous, healthy, and GREAT again. Allied with a Republican Congress and conservative Governors like me ready to move the ball forward in the states, the opportunities ahead are limitless. 

 The state of our state is extraordinarily strong, and our best days are ahead. 

 Thank you for your support and friendship. 

Jim Pillen
Governor of Nebraska
