LINCOLN,-Governor Jim Pillen issued the following statement on the results of the 2024 general election: “Today is a great day for America and for Nebraska. Although there are still a few votes to count and some races remain too close to call, it is clear Nebraskans stood strong for their values and prosperity in this election. I want to thank every Nebraska candidate who put themselves forward for public service. Elections are tough on candidates and their families, as it must be. They made a great sacrifice just to stand for office, and I commend each one of them for their willingness to serve. Here in Nebraska, the people have chosen to maintain a strong conservative majority in our Legislature. I am excited to partner with senators to continue the work of creating a strong future for our kids, cutting taxes, standing up for the agriculture producers who are the backbone of our state and defending our values. We have much work to do, and I look forward to the 2025 legislative session and the promise it holds for the people of our state. I am deeply moved by the faith and conviction shown by Nebraskans in the two abortion-related ballot initiatives. Initiative 434 passed, enshrining pro-life protections in our Constitution that cannot be watered down by pro-abortion politicians. Simultaneously, Nebraskans rejected Initiative 439 and its radical creation of a fundamental right to abortion. (0) COMMENTSWelcome to the discussion.
