Dear John,

I hope this letter finds you and your family well, and that you enjoyed your weekend despite the heat. I’m glad to be back in Nebraska after a quick trip to an equally hot Washington D.C.

This weekend, on a rare Saturday vote, the House passed the bipartisan Emergency Stopgap Stabilization Act. This initiative will help fix funding for the US Citizenship and Immigration Services, which employs hundreds of people in Lincoln and throughout Nebraska. I’m pleased that after months of hard work, we are able to provide some peace of mind for all those whose service is essential to our country. Now it’s the Senate’s turn to get things done.

Supporting the essential work of Nebraskans is important for the success and strength of a community. I’ll let Pat Ohmberger speak to this. I appreciate the kind words in her letter published over the weekend in the Lincoln Journal Star: https://journalstar.com/opinion/letters/letter-8-23-fortenberry-aids-small-business/article_c39ef5dc-4ab4-59e2-8835-7e17bcdb6f37.html

I would like to be able to continue serving you and getting things done for our communities. Campaigns are tough, and while it pains me to ask for donations in such a difficult time, I would truly appreciate your support. Let’s get things done and let’s get them done together. If you’ve donated before, or put out a yard sign, or shown your support in any way, I’m humbled and grateful. If not—now would be great!

Thank you, as always, for your support and friendship.

Sincerely,
