Senator von Gillern will provide a Legislative Session Update, sharing where the 2026 session stands so far, the major challenges facing the Legislature, and the path forward to address those issues. His remarks will be followed by a Q&A with NSAE members, offering a valuable opportunity for direct dialogue.

A lifelong Nebraskan, Senator von Gillern brings decades of private-sector leadership to the Legislature. A graduate of Omaha Burke High School and the University of Nebraska–Lincoln, he spent more than 30 years with Lueder Construction, ultimately serving as President and CEO before entering public service. Elected to the Nebraska Unicameral in 2022, he has served in key leadership roles on the Revenue, Building & Maintenance, and Banking, Insurance and Commerce Committees, sponsoring and passing legislation focused on tax relief, public safety, and business growth.
