Senator Pete Ricketts, who represents Nebraska in the U.S. Senate, posted a series of messages on social media highlighting local achievements and addressing economic challenges facing small businesses.
On March 10, 2026, Ricketts congratulated a prominent sports figure in Nebraska: “Congrats to @HuskerMBB’s Fred Hoiberg on receiving this year’s @BigTen Coach of the Year honors. You make our state proud!”
The following day, March 11, 2026, he addressed regulatory issues impacting small companies: “Red tape and regulations force smaller companies to compete on an unlevel playing field. When we make it easier for small enterprises to unlock available capital, they thrive and drive our local economies forward.”

Way to finish the season strong and represent your schools with grit and determination. Dundy County Stratton, Milford, Lincoln North Star, Pender, Bennington, and Howells-Dodge all”
