WASHINGTON, Oct. 6 -- Sen. Pete Ricketts issued the following press release:

Today, U.S. Senator Pete Ricketts (R-NE) released the following statement on the President's Executive Order (https://www.whitehouse.gov/releases/2026/10/president-trump-takes-decisive-action-to-lower-diesel-costs-for-american-truckers-farmers/) temporarily allowing use of red-dyed diesel on highways:

"I appreciate the Administration's willingness to find new ways to bring down costs for our farmers and ranchers during harvest. The temporary highway use of red-dyed diesel will help with transportation and supply chain costs, like transporting machines to the field. We will continue working to ensure Nebraskans get the relief they deserve."
