U.S. House, NE-01

Chris Backemeyer has dedicated his career to advancing U.S. foreign policy and strengthening national security. He has held senior roles at the Office of the Vice President, National Security Council, and Department of State, where he worked on international energy and economic policy with allies and partners around the world. Throughout his public service, Chris has focused on strengthening American leadership by building strong alliances, promoting principled diplomacy, and addressing global challenges head-on. In Congress, he will fight for those same values – keeping Americans safe, strengthening alliances, and pushing back against the self-inflicted trade policies that have raised costs for families in Nebraska.
