U.S. Senator Ben Sasse issued his farewell address on the Senate floor Tuesday afternoon.
The Nebraska Senator gave his farewell yesterday as he leaves office and moves into his new role as the University of Florida’s President.
Sen. Sasse shared thoughts on how thankful it has been to serve the state of Nebraska. “Serving the people of Nebraska as their Senator has been a unique honor and I will remain grateful for all that I’ve learned from the folks who do more to feed the world than any people, anytime or place, in all of human history – quite literally. I know that I speak for my team as well, some here on the floor for the first time, some in the gallery, in saying to Nebraskans: thank you for these eight years. ”
Sen. Sasse announced his official resignation as senator last year following confirmation for presidency by the University of Florida Board of Governors.
