As Nebraska continues to fight the threat of wildfires, I have signed a proclamation declaring emergencies in counties associated with the Morrill, Cottonwood, and Anderson Bridge fires.
Additionally, I signed two new executive orders:
26-08 Continues the timeframe by which fire chiefs or their designated members are prohibited from issuing permits for open burning anywhere in the state. This order is effective March 28 and continues through April 10.
26-09 Waives hours of service restrictions and adjusts maximum load width/weight limits allowed for commercial motor carriers operating within the state and are delivering feed and other supplies under the ongoing wildfire emergency, effective March 28.
In Nebraska today, we are above the Morrill Fire this morning with the Nebraska National Guard. Over 640,000 acres have burned from the Morrill Fire — 800,000 acres across the entire state.
The scale of this devastation is something you have to see to understand.
On the ground with our firefighters, responders, and Nebraska producers. These men and women are working nonstop. True heroes in every sense.
We stand with you.
We are fully engaged, Team Nebraska. 🙏🏻🚁

Grateful for @SecRollins’ leadership at the USDA. This morning, she brought together a group of Governors for an update on our fight against the Avian Flu (HPAI).
As a veterinarian and farmer, I believe helping solve these issues is a key part of this calling.
Nebraskans know: Agriculture feeds the world and saves the planet — and we’ll keep doing our part.
I'm thrilled President Trump has chosen Nebraskan Jim Macy to lead the EPA's Midwest region!
Jim led the Department of Environment and Energy for nine years. He has a proven record of delivering commonsense policies for Nebraska farmers and ranchers.

Watching the Governor’s press conference and I am continually blown away by the grace, composure, and insight of @jordybahl and @bekkaallick! Great job ladies! #RemarkableWomen
Six female athletes from the University of Nebraska appear in a pro-life, pro-child, pro-woman ad supporting Initiative 434 in Nebraska.
This is so cool to see. For so long, the other side has used star athletes to promote their views. The tide is turning.
