All who suppport School Choice:
LB364, the Opportunity Scholarships Act, was debated by the Nebraska Legislature last week, and fell short of the 33 votes needed to break a filibuster.
While we did not get the outcome we were hoping for this year, we made a lot of positive progress, and we are on the road to shaping public opinion. One senator, Justin Wayne, who used to be opposed to the issue, is now a champion for school choice in Nebraska.
We are also grateful for Senator Lou Ann Linehan, who has prioritized this bill four years in a row, Senator Tom Briese, Senator Mike Flood, and Senator Tom Brewer for their public and passionate support.
Thank you for all your efforts this year and in the future as we continue to fight for educational freedom for Nebraska families!

In Christ,
Tom Venzor

UPDATE ON SCHOOL CHOICE BILL LB364
LB364, the Opportunity Scholarships Act, was debated by the Nebraska Legislature on Wednesday. Several State Senators led an eight-hour filibuster to kill the bill, and unfortunately, the cloture vote to end debate failed 29-18 (two were “present-not voting”). LB364 needed 33 votes to break the filibuster and advance through the legislative process. See how your State Senator voted and send a message here. Thank you for your prayers and advocacy over the past several months. The Nebraska Catholic Conference will continue to advocate for educational freedom in Nebraska and giving all kids, regardless of income or zip code, a chance at a better future!
