No more giveaways to radical environmental activists! Thanks to President @realDonaldTrump and @epaleezeldin for returning America to commonsense regulation."

Additionally, Rep. Flood introduced a bipartisan bill aimed at reforming access to capital markets by allowing individuals to qualify as accredited investors through an examination process rather than wealth alone: "Access to our capital markets should be based on merit and knowledge - not just wealth. That’s why I’m happy to introduce this bipartisan bill that levels the playing field by letting individuals qualify as an accredited investor through an exam."

Rep. Mike Flood has served Nebraska’s 1st District since replacing Jeff Fortenberry in 2022 after a tenure in the Nebraska State Legislature from 2007-2013.
