LB455, introduced by Senator Bob Hallstrom, would make it harder for workers to learn about their legal rights when they are injured on the job. How does this make workers safer? I will never support a bill that puts corporations over the workers they owe all their success to.
Guns in the Capitol! Always a hot topic. Today we debated a bill that would approve sweeping new security powers without clear answers about cost, legality, or how they’ll actually work.
When access to government is at stake, we should always err on the side of openness.
Their brass tools are sooooo great. I use a Liliput every day.
Word to the wise, we just got a big new shipment of fountain pens in at the shop: shopfivenine.com/collections/...
Thanks to Dan Parsons for having me on to talk about Senator Brian Hardin’s inappropriate remarks toward me in the Legislature last week. I appreciate the opportunity to talk about my experience and the larger Legislature in general.

When lawmakers no longer to see themselves as custodians of a tradition that is much larger and more important than the position they temporarily hold, you get what we have today. Everybody frustrated with government, and nobody feeling well-represented.
State Sen. Megan Hunt represents District 8 in Omaha. She was elected in 2018 and began serving in January 2019. She was reelected in 2022. Her term runs through January
In the middle of an affordability crisis, this Legislature’s first act of 2026 is cutting the wage of Nebraska workers. Families are asking how to keep up with prices. We’re answering by cutting their paychecks. #NELeg
As we debate increased discipline for struggling students and cuts to disability support, it matters to note that the Governor is driving these policies while proudly and publicly using slurs for disabled people.
What’s remarkable is that we seem to shell out tax dollars for everything under the sun—ICE detention facilities, subsidies for multimillion dollar corporations, scholarships for Catholic schools—until it’s time to actually help a regular person who is suffering.
ICE, America's Gestapo, is not a law enforcement agency that sometimes goes too far. Its entire purpose is violence and terror.
Every agent who puts on that uniform does so because they want to participate in a system designed to get the outcome we saw today in Minneapolis.
It’s my last first day, beginning my 8th year in the Nebraska Legislature! Thank you to the people of Nebraska for trusting me with the privilege of representing you in the Unicam. With the help and support of my team, I look forward to making you proud in our final session.
Welcome to day one of your Nebraska Legislature
“The reason we have the problems we have in this country, whether we’re talking about Congress or we’re talking about city council,” said Megan Hunt, the trailblazing member of the Nebraska State Legislature, “is because good people don’t run.”
Thank you so much, Rebecca!

Conversion therapy is NOT THERAPY. It is not recognized therapeutic or ethical by the APA or the ACA.
Defending conversion therapy is like defending the prescription of heroin for a cough. That was done at one time, but we know better now.
Govt regulates the medical industry to keep ppl safe. This is no different than any other modern regulations to protect consumers & patients.
Nobody needs the abusive and debunked “treatment” known as conversion therapy—and LGBTQ+ youth need to know they are loved and accepted as they are. As long as I’m in the legislature I’ll be working to ban it in Nebraska.
No reputable medical or psychological association supports conversion therapy. Being LGBTQ+ is not an illness, and we don’t need to be cured.
We have been working to ban conversion therapy in Nebraska since 2019. With my LB 367, we could be next to ban this inhumane practice.
The Supreme Court is poised to overturn 32 state bans on conversion therapy and explicitly legalize the abusive and torturous process.
They don't care how many LGBTQ people this traumatizes and kills.

Media training has gone too far for some of these candidates for office—we can tell when candidates are speaking to donors and not to voters. No more memorized talking points that actually say nothing! We want proof that our leaders can recognize a genocide when they see one.

If the Judiciary Committee won’t act, my colleagues and I will continue to press for answers through public forums, media, community meetings & legal review.
Nebraskans deserve oversight—not excuses, not delay tactics, and not elected officials playing dumb.
As Judiciary Chair, Sen. Bosn has the authority to hold a hearing any time she chooses. She doesn’t need permission from the Governor or the executive branch to do her job. Refusing to act shields the administration from accountability.
It’s disappointing but not surprising that Sen. Bosn denied our request for a public hearing on the Governor’s plan to hand over a Nebraska prison to ICE. These are not questions that can be answered behind closed doors or in private conversations.
Omaha Sen. Megan Hunt and Democratic lawmakers are urging a hearing to investigate Gov. Jim Pillen's agreement to bring ICE facility to Nebraska.
Tell them to contact the press for sure - or my office, and we can connect them.
