Thank you to all of my colleagues who voted in favor of consumer choice, expanded markets, and energy independence. While the fight for nationwide, year-round E15 is not yet finished, yesterday's bipartisan passage of my bill marked a historic win!
House Republicans just passed H.R. 1346 the Nationwide Consumer and Fuel Retailer Choice Act. This bill allows the year-round sale of E15 gasoline nationwide, expanding fuel choice, supporting American farmers, and helping lower costs at the pump. Congrats @RepAdrianSmith!

It was great to stop by the Family Advocacy Network in Kearney for a tour of their new facility and to discuss their latest efforts to support children and families facing difficult circumstances. I appreciated learning more about their mission and the difference they're making for Nebraska children.

Every child deserves the love, stability, and support of a family. This year, I had the pleasure of honoring Jenna and Robert Stoner of Holdrege as Nebraska's Third District @CCAInstitute Angels in Adoption Honorees. Thank you for being a powerful example of the care and commitment a family can provide!

Congratulations to @BDandCo on 60 years in Holdrege! For six decades, BD has been a valued partner in the Holdrege community—creating quality jobs and supporting the local economy. I enjoyed being part of the celebration and recognizing this milestone!

Great discussion with @SecretaryWright, @NEFarmBureau, and Nebraska agriculture leaders on strengthening America’s energy independence. From 45Z to nationwide, year-round E15, I’ll keep fighting for policies that expand markets for Nebraska biofuels, support our farmers, and deliver affordable, homegrown energy.

Great to have @SecretaryWright in the Good Life! Thank you for joining us to celebrate a momentous milestone for @NioCorp's Elk Creek Critical Minerals Project and an important roundtable discussion with @NEFarmBureau.
Tremendous day in Nebraska with an incredible team of Nebraskan leaders. @SenatorFischer, @SenatorRicketts, @RepAdrianSmith, @TeamPillen, and @JJovanovicUSA are working every day on behalf of the American people.

In Nebraska, we’re used to putting miles on the car. But when those miles mean traveling for a doctor’s appointment or medical treatment, distance can be a real challenge for rural families In my latest column, I share highlights from @DrOzCMS’s visit to the Third District and my work to bring care closer to home. adriansmith.house.gov/media/…

Nebraskans work hard for every dollar. Fraudsters shouldn’t get to steal a dime. Today, I signed @VP Vance’s Pledge to Protect Americans from Fraud because protecting hardworking Americans should be common sense, not controversial.

I appreciate @POTUS and @epaleezeldin for their continued support of American biofuels and for taking action to strengthen our nation’s energy independence. Today’s announcement is welcome news for America's biofuel producers, providing the certainty they need to grow our homegrown energy industry. This also marks an important victory for our farmers, rural communities, and American consumers looking for lower prices at the pump.
In a move that will provide predictable and stable markets for farmers, we are proposing 100% REALLOCATION for the additional 2025 Small Refinery Exemption volumes for the amount that exceeded estimates in the “Set 2” Rule. This proposal will strengthen the Renewable Fuel Standard program, open markets for farmers, and grow economic potential for rural communities. Administrator Zeldin just announced this breaking news in Iowa. epa.gov/newsreleases/while-i…

Honored to welcome @DrOzCMS to the Good Life yesterday to visit Memorial Community Hospital in Blair! We had a great discussion about the needs of rural healthcare providers and ways we can work together to ensure every Nebraskan has access to quality care close to home.

Pleased to see Governor Hochul opt into my Federal Scholarship Tax Credit which I fought to secure in the @TaxCuts to expand educational opportunities for ALL families. Let me be clear—taking advantage of my tax credit is common sense, not a political debate.
New York just became the 31st state to opt into the Education Freedom Tax Credit! Governor Hochul nailed the exact reason why: "I'm not going to leave money on the table when it could help our kids." Empowering families knows no political boundary.

Today, I led a letter with @RepNikkiB and 37 colleagues urging @EPALeeZeldin and @SecretaryWright to build on the admin’s historic support for American biofuels by issuing a supplemental rule that provides much-needed certainty for biofuel producers and consumers.

Fans expect college athletics to be played the right way. Unfortunately, as they have evolved over the last few years, there have been well-documented cases nationwide of players and coaches trying to go beyond the spirit of the sport. That's why I introduced my Fair Play Enforcement Act to address these concerns and keep college athletics on a level playing field. Read more in my column this week: adriansmith.house.gov/media/…

On October 7, 2023, Hamas terrorists carried out a barbaric attack against Israel and its people. Today, we mourn the innocent lives that were lost and reaffirm our commitment to fighting antisemitism wherever it exists.
Three years ago today, Hamas terrorists murdered approximately 1,200 innocent people on one of the deadliest days for the Jewish people in history. We will NEVER forget. America must always stand with Israel and against radical Islamist terror. 🇺🇸🇮🇱

I am eager to see this project advance through the permitting process and look forward to working with the administration to expand the production of American-made fertilizer while creating new jobs and opportunities for Nebraska's Third District!
🚨 ANOTHER WIN FOR AMERICAN FERTILIZER 🇺🇸 Project Meadowlark in Gothenburg, Nebraska — a $1+ BILLION domestic fertilizer manufacturing project — has been added to the FAST-41 Transparency Dashboard, helping provide greater certainty and accountability as it moves through federal permitting. It is the first manufacturing project ever added under this FAST-41 transparency authority. This project will help put American-made fertilizer in the hands of farmers across the Corn Belt, strengthen our domestic fertilizer supply chain, and reduce reliance on foreign sources. Under @POTUS, we are cutting through permitting barriers and bringing critical agricultural manufacturing back to American soil. More American fertilizer. More reliable supply. More security for American farmers. permitting.gov/newsroom/pres…

Hard work should pay off. That’s why I supported the Working Families Tax Cuts — putting real relief back in the hands of working families.
