Making Government Work

Our government should make decisions that further the public's interest. But recently, gridlock, hyper-partisanship, and out-of-date legislative process have hindered meaningful progress. We are fighting back.

Common Cause addresses a range of good government issues to ensure that public officials can their jobs. Over the years, we have worked to:

  • Reform the U.S. Senate to update its rules and curb abuse of the silent filibuster
  • Prevent government shutdowns over anti-democratic political agendas
  • Make sure voters have necessary information about budgets, spending, and the legislative process
  • Stop legislators from wrongly interfering with presidential and gubernatorial appointments to the executive and judicial branch
  • Ensure state legislatures have adequate time and funding to conduct the peoples’ business

Defending Nebraska’s Unique legislature

Nebraska's nonpartisan, unicameral is unlike any other. Preserving this unique system requires ongoing commitment from Nebraskans who value pragmatic governance, collaborative problem-solving, and a legislative approach that puts substantive policy ahead of political tribalism.
