LINCOLN, NEB. – “Nebraska Farm Bureau congratulates Mike Flood on his election to serve Nebraska’s first congressional district in the U.S. House of Representatives. As Flood knows, there are many issues facing American agriculture from tax reform and expanding broadband, to economic development in rural areas.

We look forward to working with him to tackle those challenges especially in the areas of growing our economy, cutting taxes, and reducing federal overreach.”
