Ending this failed experiment has been attempted many times since then. We have the opportunity to fix it this year if Unicameral Republicans stand together as a team. President Trump has called for the restoration of WTA, as have the majority of Nebraskans across our state.

If he remains consistent with his past votes and his 2024 pledge, WTA can finally be restored.
