[edit] Legislature
He ran and won against Floyd P. Vrtiska in 2004 and ran unopposed in 2008 until his support for an increase in the gas tax prompted Jerry Joy to launch a ultimately unsuccessful write in campaign [1]. Being the chairman of the Appropriations Committee, his primary duty has been to negotiate the fiscal budget with Nebraska Governor Dave Heineman.
