Syracuse Rocket wrestling host parent’s night
The Syracuse Rocket wrestling program recently hosted parent’s night. Wrestlers and their parents were introduced to the home crowd.
Removing restrictions for ATVs, UTVs
Last year, I introduced LB 1110, which outlined the provisions for registering all-terrain vehicles (ATVs) and utility-terrain vehicles (UTVs) for street use. Unfortunately, that bill got stuck in committee and never made it to the floor. This year, I have introduced LB 66, which has the same intent as last year’s bill.
Empowering families
Students are a large part of why I’m so optimistic about the future of our great country. In recent years they’ve faced unprecedented challenges as COVID-19 disrupted traditional classroom settings. While Nebraskans worked hard to keep our schools open, other states can’t say the same. The resulting spotlight on public schools highlighted just how important parental engagement and freedom is to student success. Parents, not politicians, know what their children need in the classroom. This isn’t to say private education is always superior – I proudly attended Nebraska’s excellent public schools – but no child should be stuck in a failing system because of their ZIP code or socioeconomic status.

Smith released the following statement: “American consumers and producers are being forced to the sidelines of the global economy because of the Biden administration’s failure to put forward a proactive trade agenda. Trade has the potential to lower costs for American families, level the playing field for American products abroad, and expand opportunities for American small businesses.
Rocket girls compete in conference tourney
The Syracuse girls’ basketball team played in the Nebraska Capitol Conference this past week. Rockets 38, RC 32 Having beaten Raymond Central earlier this season, 49-38, Syracuse knew it would have its hands full throughout the night. And that it did, but the Rockets always stayed a step ahead, which has been an area to work on as of late. With no runs of more than four points, the Rockets would answer any baskets by the Mustangs throughout the game.
