  • “Up The Mountain” with Senators Tom Brewer & Justin Wayne. Black. White. Native. Male. Female. Urban. Rural. Conservative. Progressive. In the fall of 2021, five Nebraska legislators from different walks of life and different political perspectives spent months preparing to climb the legendary Mt. Kilimanjaro. To succeed, they had to set aside partisan and cultural differences to make an unbreakable team. Their hard work and cooperation got them to the top of the mountain and left them with lessons and memories for a lifetime. See what they learned from the mountain and from each other.
