Rep. Fortenberry was re-elected to a 6th term with 69% of the vote.  He serves on the House Appropriations Committee.

Recommended reading for Rep. Fortenberry and his eastern Nebraska constituents.

A University of Nebraska climate scientist, and former head of the National Drought Mitigation Center, Dr. Wilhite says climate change is accepted by 97 of 100 scientists.   He calls that overwhelming consensus. 

Nebraska Farmers Union says it's time to accept that.
 
John Hansen of Farmers Union said, "It is not reasonable or productive to deny the physical science."

No Friend to the Environment dishonor roll.
