The 2023 legislative session in Lincoln is winding down to a final handful of days. A major remaining item of unfinished business is voter identification. Three senators introduced voter ID proposals this year, and I am grateful for the hard work by Senators Julie Slama, Steve Erdman, and Jen Day. I am also grateful for the work of Speaker John Arch and Secretary of State Bob Evnen, and for the guidance of Attorney General Mike Hilgers and the scores of county election officials who offered their input along the way.

As the days in the George W. Norris Legislative Chamber dwindle down to a precious few, the Republican Majority continues to trip over each other patting themselves on the back while the Democrats dig their trenches a little deeper and promise to give the home folks one to remember.
