I want to thank the many Nebraskans who contacted me following my vote on a bill earlier this week to avert the "fiscal cliff." To govern is to choose, and this was another complicated, hard decision:- Today I was sworn into the 113th Congress. I am honored to serve the First Congressional District of Nebraska in the United States House of Representatives: http://1.usa.gov/VlGLwP
