Sen. Ben Nelson works hard for peace in the Senate

Senator Ben Nelson (D-Neb) has a long history of reaching across party lines to reach consensus on pressing issues in the Senate. His ability to bring together Republicans and Democrats to compromise on key policy has been instrumental to passing important legislation in the past. In the face of the partisan bickering over the stimulus, and the President’s statement that he wants a bipartisan solution to the economic crisis, Senator Nelson finds himself in the center of the debate.
