Honored to represent 44th Districgt

Tuesday, November 25, 2014

As we celebrate Thanksgiving, I can't help but think what a sincere honor it has been for me to serve you for the last eight years. While the time has gone fast, I have really enjoyed representing you and fighting for the important issues of our district. Thank you for your encouragement and support in my efforts here at the Legislature. Thank you also for the communication with my office in letting me know you concerns and opinions.

As you know, Dan Hughes is replacing me as your new senator to represent District 44. I appreciate the graciousness and respect that you have shown me during my time here. Please welcome Dan with the same support and kindness that has made my time in the legislature enjoyable. I am sure that Mr. Hughes will do a fine job as your new representative.

Again, as I reflect on all there is to be thankful for, I feel blessed to have had this opportunity. I am glad to have been a part of making the lives of people in District 44 even just a little better. As you celebrate the Holiday season, remember what this time of year is really about--thanking God for all the things he has given us--family, friends, freedom and life. Happy Thanksgiving everyone, and have a wonderful Holiday season! See you around the district. God bless you all.

If you have any questions or comments, contact my office. Mark R. Christensen, PO Box 94604, Lincoln, NE 68509, 402-471-2805 or mchristensen@leg.ne.gov.

  • Sir,

    I am glad you are gone.....

    I feel you often did not represent the district very well.

    You got blindsided by the "eastern boys" on your plan on irrigation. Taxpayers also got blindsided.

    I numerous times corresponded with you about veteran subjects that I was concerned about, more often than not I didn't even receive a response.
