LB649 Press Release

Now that the 2021 legislative session is well underway, you may find it interesting and helpful to know a little about the District 19 office at the State Capitol Building and how we may be of assistance to constituents.

Every legislative office has at least two staff positions, an administrative assistant and a legislative aide. In the District 19 office, those positions are filled by Diane Johnson and Jesse Ferguson, respectively. Diane has many years of experience as legislative staff at the Capitol and oftentimes will be the person greeting you when you call. She and her husband, a farmer, reside in rural Lancaster County. Jesse is a Norfolk native with strong ties to the community and graduated from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln in 2020.

Our office is temporarily on the 11th floor in the tower of the Capitol due to ongoing HVAC renovations that have necessitated the closing off of main parts of the building for office use. Our office hours are normally 8 a.m. to 12 p.m. and 1p.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday year round with the exception of state and federal holidays; and calls, e-mails, and letters are always appreciated.

Many constituents and others have been in contact with us already this year. The level of interest in legislative proceedings is noteworthy. When contacting the office, we appreciate knowing your name, address, and telephone number so that we are better able to serve you through return calls or letters. Ideally, every constituent contact with the office will be acknowledged in some manner. Turnaround time varies, depending on the workload in the office; but please know our intent is to serve you well and promptly.

Besides contacting us about legislative bills pending before the Unicameral, persons may also share concerns they have with governmental agencies or ask questions about how to access state services. Normally we would also assist with group visits to the Capitol, but those have been suspended in light of COVID. We look forward to in-person visits at some point in the future.

If you wish to contact the District 19 office, our telephone number is (402) 471-2929; my e-mail address is mflood@leg.ne.gov; and our U.S. mail address is District #19, P.O. Box 94604, Lincoln, NE 68509.
