Episode 11 - Mid-Session Check-In: What’s Moving in the Nebraska Legislature

In this mid-session check-in, host Juliet Summers is joined by Eric Reiter, advocacy and community collaborations coordinator at Voices for Children in Nebraska, for a grounded look at what’s moving in the 2026 Nebraska Legislative Session. Eric sheds light on how lawmakers, advocates, and community members often bring very different ideas about what’s best for child well-being—and how those perspectives shape the debates unfolding in the Unicameral. Together, they walk through key bills impacting kids and families, highlight emerging trends, and share what to watch as the session heads into its second half.
