Recognizing Rob McCartney's Outstanding Ketv Career

Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. FLOOD. Mr. Speaker, today I rise to recognize a key figure of Nebraska journalism and cornerstone of KETV's newsroom, Rob McCartney.

Over 40 years covering the Nebraska-Iowa area, Rob became a trusted, reliable voice for generations of Nebraskans. After 33 years at KETV, Rob's impact on our state's media landscape is nothing short of significant.

The breadth of Rob's career was reaffirmed when he recently accepted the Nebraska Broadcasters Association's award for Best Election Coverage on behalf of KETV.

Whether reporting on our Huskers, traveling with the Nebraska National Guard overseas, or sharing the inspiring recovery of an Omaha police officer, Rob's dedication to journalism built an incredible legacy.

While his final broadcast was a bittersweet moment for Nebraska, the broadcast journalist who guided us through triumphs and trials finally now has more time with his family. I congratulate Rob on an extraordinary career. Happy retirement.
