  • Annual Report
    2015 ANNUAL REPORT Care PAC is a political fund of the Nebraska Health Care Association Dear friends and colleagues, We are happy to present the 2015 Care PAC Annual Report! Upon reviewing the next few pages, you will see that 2015 was another record-breaking year in terms of the amount raised. Care PAC raised $50,449, an increase of 18 percent from the previous year. Together we are truly making a difference. 2015 was an important year in Nebraska politics. Your Care PAC contributions helped new and current state legislators understand the complexities that long-term care providers face on a daily basis. Building a strong political action fund is the key to being a political powerhouse, so we can now turn our attention toward helping to elect the next wave of state legislators in 2016. When it comes to the political process, we can choose to stay disconnected and allow others to make decisions for us; or we can choose to become engaged and be the masters of our own destiny. Part of engaging in the political process is the ability to financially contribute to candidates who share our vision. Not only does this help like-minded candidates get elected, but also signals to the legislature that we’re serious. It helps us get a seat at the table when long-term care and other issues important to you are discussed. Please assist us as we work on your behalf by contributing to NHCA’s Care PAC. Our entire field will be better thanks to your generosity. Sincerely, Shari Terry, Co-Chair Care PAC Jayne Prince, Co-Chair Care PAC 2016 Care PAC Committee Jayne Prince, Co-Chair ............The Willows .................................................

  • Nebraska Legislature: How They Voted for the Early Advantage of Children in the 104Th Legislative Session 2015 – 2016
    Nebraska Legislature: How they Voted for the Early Advantage of Children in the 104th Legislative Session 2015 – 2016 Dear Nebraska Friends and Colleagues, July 2016 We have pulled together the following information to indicate how Nebraska’s State Senators voted for children on select occasions during the 104th Legislative Session. These selected votes were based on legislative proposals critical to impacting working families and their children. These proposals were priorities of the Holland Children’s Movement related to issues of health, education and economic stability. We have included a percentage of each senator’s support of these priorities based on their votes on specific legislative measures throughout 2015-16. These voting records do not indicate other legislative activities of interest to Nebraska’s children, such as committee votes or bills introduced. We are pleased to report that more than half of all senators voted in support of the position of the Holland Children’s Movement 80% or more of the time. We would like to extend our sincere appreciation to all of our senators for their dedication to public service and our gratitude for the actions taken to make Nebraska a national leader in opportunities for all children. We hope you will continue to support efforts to tackle the root causes of family poverty and assure that every child in Nebraska will have the support and opportunities they need to reach their full potential. Sincerely, John J. Cavanaugh Chief Operating Officer 1700 Farnam St, Ste 1090 Omaha, NE 68102 2016
