On March 5th 2026, NPPA held our annual Legislative Day in Lincoln, Nebraska. Among our special guests were Governor Jim Pillen and several State Senators. Legislative Day serves as a time for stakeholders in the oil and gas industry to interact and build relationships with state leaders in Nebraska.
NPPA hosted our annual Legislative Day on March 5th in Lincoln. We kicked things off the evening of March 4th with a dinner at Misty’s Steakhouse. Our special guests for dinner were Senator Mike Jacobson, Senator Bob Hallstrom, Senator Brian Hardin, Senator Paul Strommen, Senator Teresa Ibach, and Senator Dave Durman. The next morning we hosted Senators for breakfast at the Governor's Mansion.
Following breakfast we walked to the Capitol for a meeting with Governor Jim Pillen in the Governor’s Hearing Room. He shared his insight into how Nebraska can grow the energy industry and his legislative priorities for the session. He also answered questions and took feedback from NPPA members, which was mainly focused on the destructive policies pushed by environmental activists.
After our time with Governor Pillen, NPPA members spent time in the balcony overlooking the legislative floor and watching floor debate. Lt. Governor Joe Kelly was presiding over the Legislature and between speakers during floor debate he recognized the presence of NPPA members in the balcony.
NPPA members also met with several Senators in the Rotunda of the Capitol, just steps away from the floor of the Legislature.
We would like to thank all of our NPPA members that were able to join us for this year’s Legislative Day event. If you were unable to attend, we hope that you will be able to join us next year!
