AP | Senators: Millennial views bridge some partisan differences

LINCOLN, NE | When Nebraska’s youngest legislators formed a bipartisan coalition focused on building an economy that would keep college graduates from leaving the state, they figured their shared experiences as millennials would be stronger than the party differences that divide them.

A few months after joining, the eight millennial lawmakers and three Generation X colleagues are finding that party ideologies are difficult to overcome, but they remain committed to seeking areas where they can work together.

The group, dubbed Next Generation Nebraska, is headed by Sens. Adam Morfeld, a 31-year-old Democrat from Lincoln, and Brett Lindstrom, a 36-year-old Republican from Omaha. Members aim to collect feedback from young people across the state and draft legislation next year addressing millennial concerns.

“We’re looking at job creation tailored to that younger generation,” Lindstrom said. “We’re staying a little bit out of social issues, because any time you get bogged down in social issues, that’s when the divides start to happen.”
