Thank you to the Saunders County Democrats for having me speak at your meeting lastnight, and thank you to Fariner Bakery owners Jared and Damie for a great night.

John Cavanaugh for Congress Statement on Reported Bacon Retirement

I thank Rep. Bacon for his decades of service to this country, and wish him well in his retirement. The people of Nebraska’s 2nd District know it’s time for a change, time to lower costs for working families, and time to send a proven leader to Congress who can end the chaos. The people know that I won’t play politics but will take action to improve the lives of Nebraskans, like I’ve done in the state legislature.

I am in awe of the support I have received from Nebraskans and appreciate their confidence in my ability to represent them in Congress. I look forward to building on this momentum and earning the support of voters across the district because they know I will protect Medicare and Social Security, expand access to healthcare, and support tax cuts for Nebraska families, not billionaires.

Nebraska commission approves emergency medical cannabis regulations β€’ Nebraska Examiner The Nebraska Medical Cannabis Commission approved emergency regulations to soon begin accepting medical cannabis applications.

β€œTo disallow by regulation what is clearly allowed by statute is a slap in the face to the patients and families who need this medicine and the voters of Nebraska who approved it by an overwhelming majority."
