Sen. Pete Ricketts
Delivers for Nebraska
Call Senator Pete Ricketts
Thank him for saving families money and putting Nebraska first.
Most politicians talk about lowering costs and cleaning up Washington. Here are four times Pete Ricketts actually did it.
As governor, Ricketts eliminated Nebraska's state tax on Social Security benefits. Seniors who paid into the system their entire working lives shouldn't have to pay again on the way out — and in Nebraska, they no longer do.
He helped write the Working Families Tax Cut, lowering costs for households across the state. It was built for the people who feel every increase at the pump and the checkout line.
He created the Anti-Fraud Task Force to target waste, fraud, and abuse in federal spending. Every dollar Washington loses to fraud came out of somebody's paycheck first, and now somebody is finally counting.
He's leading the effort to ban members of Congress from trading stocks. It's not a popular position inside the Capitol, which is exactly why it took someone willing to take it.
Thank him for saving families money and putting Nebraska first.
