Senator Pete Ricketts, U.S. Senator representing Nebraska, recently shared a series of updates on his social media account, addressing topics ranging from local events to national economic issues.
On September 4, 2025, Ricketts highlighted a gathering in Nebraska by stating, "It was great to welcome hundreds of my fellow Nebraskans to this year’s Federal Issues Forum. Read more about in @NTVNEWS: https://t.co/DSNrzbRU14".
Later that day, Ricketts responded to comments made by Senator Elizabeth Warren regarding the cost of living for American families. He wrote on September 4, 2025: "LIES FROM @SenWarren: 'The President promised on day one to cut costs for American families. And we are now on day 227 and costs are not down.' FALSE! FACTS: Prices are down. Gas over Labor Day was as cheap as it’s been since COVID! And if we pass year-round E15, gas will get https://t.co/9kz5bn81Da".
On September 5, 2025, Ricketts also expressed support for the University of Nebraska's volleyball team with the post: "Incredible! @HuskerVB continues to make all Nebraskans proud and draw attention from across the country! https://t.co/quQk1pR8Rj".
The Federal Issues Forum referenced by Ricketts is an annual event where Nebraskans gather to discuss key policy concerns affecting the state and nation. The mention of E15 refers to gasoline blended with up to 15% ethanol; expanding access to year-round E15 sales has been promoted as a way to potentially lower fuel prices for consumers while supporting agricultural producers.
Senator Pete Ricketts has served as Nebraska's U.S. Senator since January 2023 after previously holding office as Governor of Nebraska.
