Government Affairs Committee
Each NAPE District has its own Government Affairs Committee. The committee is headed by a chairperson, who is on the statewide GAC. The statewide GAC meets via conference call, many times weekly, during the legislative session to discuss legislative and political priorities.
All members interested in legislative and political issues, or who want to learn more are welcome to join us!
Call the NAPE office at 402-486-3911, or talk to your District President to get involved.

Also, if you are not sure who your State Senator is there is a great new function on the Nebraska Unicameral website that will tell you what district you are in! Visit the Nebraska Legislature site where you will find a map of the state. In the lower right corner of the map you will find a “search the map” box where you can enter your street address and city. Hit the search button and then click on the arrow that appears on the map and your Senator and District number will pop up on the map.
