Kishla Askins for Congress

It’s clear what it takes to win tough fights. I’m a 30-year Navy veteran and healthcare provider running to make life more affordable for Nebraskans. Together, we can flip #NE02. Join me ➡️ KishlaForCongress.com

Happy Birthday #Marines! Proud of my Marine, Colonel(ret) Alison Thompson, guest of honor for the Miguel Keith Marine Corps League #609 Birthday Cake Cutting Ceremony. #Nebraska #Service #MarineWife

Thank you to everyone who came together to make the #Veterans Day Parade such a meaningful event. From assembling poppy cards throughout the week to braving the cold to honor our veterans and their families, your spirit of unity and service reflects the best of who we are as #Nebraskans.

This is why we need to realign our #healthcaresystem to invest in prevention and improving quality of life. We need a proactive healthcare system and not a reactive one which is the current system of delivery.

November is Diabetes Awareness Month.

This is personal for me. I lost my parents due 2 heart disease, a complication of their #diabetes. They left us far too early from a preventable disease. As a healthcare provider & publichealth professional, I believe in more prevention to prevent chronic dz.

Health insurance costs are projected to rise nearly 30% next year. Without affordable access, families can’t afford regular checkups and diseases go undetected. We need leaders who understand health care from the inside and know how to fix the system.

The average new car in America now costs over $50k, another sign that Washington has lost touch with working families. While corporations and luxury automakers profit, middle-class Americans are paying the price at the dealership and the repair shop.

Nearly 200,000 PAs deliver high-quality, compassionate care across America every day. Proud to be part of a profession built on service, leadership, and trust.

In a time when division feels louder than decency, choosing kindness is a quiet act of courage. Let’s bring that spirit into how we lead, how we serve, and how we show up for one another — today and every day.

Being “nice” doesn’t mean avoiding hard conversations or standing down — it means leading with empathy, listening first, and treating others with dignity even when we disagree.

It's National Be Nice Day!

Kindness is strength in action. It’s what keeps our communities connected, our families grounded, and our workplaces humane.

Here in Nebraska, we call it Nebraska Nice — a way of life built on respect, hard work, and lending a hand when someone needs it.

Shana Tova to everyone celebrating Rosh Hashanah! May the New Year bring health and hope to all.

For me, this is deeply personal after enduring investigations for being gay while serving, to later be sworn in as a Deputy Assistant Secretary at the Department of Veterans Affairs with my wife by my side was a full circle moment I will never forget.
