Political Quotes

“Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the remarkable life of one of our greatest Nebraskans, Jack Hoffman. For over a decade, Jack's story captured the hearts and minds of Americans and Nebraskans as he battled brain cancer. Through it all, the Cornhusker State cheered him on. In 2013, Jack made national news when he ran for a 69-yard touchdown during the Huskers' spring game. In that moment, Jack became a symbol of perseverance and hope for kids and families grappling with pediatric brain cancer. To help others facing the same battle, his family founded the Team Jack Foundation to support research on pediatric brain cancer. When Jack passed last week, our entire State mourned his loss. His legacy will be forever etched in the hearts of Nebraskans. He joins his father, who also died of brain cancer, a very good friend of mine and somebody that I know welcomed his son into heaven with open arms. ____________________”
