Hello, Welcome to the Bacon Brief! As you know, our district boundaries changed this year, and the 2nd District now includes all of Douglas and Saunders County, and the western part of Sarpy County. I like to send a newsletter to my constituents 1-2 times a month to let them know what we are working on in DC and what is going on in the district. | Meetings with constituents | In addition to voting on legislation, attending committee meetings, and meeting with other government officials, I regularly meet with constituents and organizations who have an interest in issues affecting the 2nd District of Nebraska. Whether it be Alzheimer's, agriculture, military, immigration, veterans, foster children, etc. I always enjoy hearing about the issues that impact the lives of constituents. In D.C. and Nebraska I typically engage in eight to ten meetings a day. | Most Effective Republican Lawmaker | The Center for Effective Lawmaking, a partnership between the University of Virginia's Frank Batten School of Leadership and Public Policy and Vanderbilt University, released their Legislative Effectiveness Scores for the 117th Congress, ranking me as the number one Republican lawmaker and the number one Republican member on defense issues. Bacon scored a 6.13 based on fifteen indicators including bills introduced by the member, the progress they made in committee, and bills the member sponsored.

On day one, the Biden Administration's policy of halting construction of the southern border wall, prevented Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) from doing its job to keep our country safe, and took immediate steps to end the Migrant Protection Protocols and other successful enforcement policies. His open-border policy predictably led to a national security and humanitarian crisis at America’s borders that continues to this day. Read more about House Republican's plan to secure our border. | First Survey of the year What is your top issue? Taking this survey will sign you up for future news and updates from my office. | Rep.
