Neb. and Iowa leaders react to and attend Biden/Harris Inauguration

“As I attended our nation’s 59th Presidential inauguration ceremony, I reflected on America’s great legacy - the peaceful transition of power, and I wish President Biden and his Administration well. While I did not vote for him, I respect the outcome of the election and pledge to seek areas of consensus for the sake of our country. We all want our nation to succeed, but I will also utilize the checks and balances our Founding Fathers built into our government and oppose policies that I believe are harmful to Nebraskans. Now more than ever, the spirit of bipartisanship and civility is needed in our country. I’m committed to leading that effort, and I ask my fellow Nebraskans and Americans to join me.”

“Congratulations to President Biden and Vice President Harris on their swearing-in today. I look forward to working with them in a bipartisan manner to find common ground and deliver results for families in Nebraska and across America.”

“President Biden and Vice-President Harris will now take their rightful place and help put the last four years behind us and build back an America for everyone...I am filled with hope for our state and our nation because of the policies they will enact on climate change, immigration, COVID, education and health care. Their steady hands are exactly what is needed in these tumultuous times.”
