🚨 Nebraska Auditor Mike Foley and @NeTreasurer Joey Spellerberg are sounding the alarm:

Abstaining on shareholder votes isn't neutral; it's a gift to activists.

While states like CA and NY use proxy voting to advance political agendas, Nebraska's current policy effectively silences a $45 BILLION shareholder voice.

Fiduciaries shouldn't sit on the sidelines. Every proxy should be evaluated on one standard: long-term value for retirees and taxpayers.

Please take the time to vote.

Thank you to those willing to put your name on the ballot. Running for office is a thankless job. It often comes with personal attacks and sacrifice that most people never see. Regardless of political differences, it takes courage to step forward.

@jsolomonReports I was honored to testify in support of this on behalf of @StateShieldUSA to help make this happen. Foreign money has no place in American elections!

@POTUS and @SecretaryLCD have a new rule to improve Nebraskans’ 401(k)s. I strongly support this rule and look forward to seeing it finalized. Let 401(k)s be given the same options as public pensions! https://t.co/HBRmRmdTiI

@SFOF_States

[Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer @SecretaryLCD]

Hardworking Americans deserve more options, not less, when they retire.

@POTUS & I are committed to clearing regulatory burdens so workers have access to financial alternatives they can choose from for their 401(k)s.

@NeTreasurer Enable is a great program for those with disabilities! It isn’t as well known as it should be. Please help Treasurer @JoeySpellerberg spread the word.

[Nebraska State Treasurer's Office @NeTreasurer]

ICYMI: "Enable has grown to 5,241 accounts with more than $61 million in assets to help individuals with disabilities achieve their best life." Read the Treasurer's editorial: https://t.co/R9MqXXfwD0

If you understand that the CCP operates as a mafia-state, you also understand the value of keeping your friends close, but your enemies closer.

Keep politics out of public finance! Thank you to Arizona Treasurer @KimberlyYeeAZ and @SFOF_States for requesting @potus end the previous administration’s attempt to create a monopoly for mega donor billionaire Michael Bloomberg.

[John Murante @johnmuranteNE]

Thank you to @SFOF_States for opposing a Biden era rule giving a government imposed monopoly to Michael Bloomberg (who happened to give Biden $20 million). Special thanks to @NeTreasurer @JoeySpellerberg and Auditor Foley for asking @POTUS to rescind the rule! @Heritage

[State Financial Officers Foundation @SFOF_States]

🚨 15 state financial officers are calling out a Biden-era rule that would force the use of a Bloomberg-created identifier—padding a partisan mega-donor’s profits while disrupting markets.
Americans deserve transparency, fairness, & fiduciary integrity.

Keep politics out of pensions! For years Nebraska public employees have had exposure to private equity investments. Allowing private sector Americans flexibility to invest 401 (k)s in the same asset classes is the right approach.

@SFOF_States Good discussion with @JerryLeeBowyer about the threats to agriculture by politicized and weaponizing public investments. Keep politics out of pensions! If billionaires like Bloomberg are serious about improving the environment they should spend time in NE learning from farmers.

[State Financial Officers Foundation @SFOF_States]

ESG is coming for America’s farms. As @johnmuranteNE warns, activists and billionaires are pushing policies that blame agriculture for climate change.

[Jerry Bowyer @JerryLeeBowyer]

Thanks to @rc_markets for posting my piece from @ProsprAligned about the warning issued by @johnmuranteNE, former Treasurer of Nebaska about how ESG is being weaponized against Ag states and how by entrusting their voting rights to non-aligned service providers, Ag state pensions end up voting against their state's leading industries.

@StateShieldUSA @m_chriswingate Great work by @StateShieldUSA to protect against threats from the CCP. Thanks to Senators @Bob4NE and @BostarEliot for banning Chinese drones in Nebraska. Thanks also to @CarsonHClayton for your hard work on the issue

[State Shield @StateShieldUSA]

Drones made in China are a huge national security threat.

If the CCP wants, they can access image data from these drones as they fly around the U.S.

Thanks for writing @m_chriswingate

[State Shield @StateShieldUSA]

The Chinese Communist Party is using every tool available to spy on America – including exchange students. Local school districts are unsuspecting and perfect targets for the CCP.

This is a good recommendation from @committeeonccp, expect more to follow.
