ALEXANDRIA, VA (January 31, 2024) — CPAC Foundation’s analysis reveals that Nebraska’s most progressive legislators voted far more liberal this year compared to past years. This is best observed in the radicalization of legislators like Sen. Machaela Cavanaugh, Sen. Megan Hunt, and Sen. Carol Blood, whose scores fell by about 30%.
