Senator Adam Morfeld is the Nebraska State Senator for District 46 in Lincoln and Executive Director of Civic Nebraska, which he founded in 2008 while an undergraduate. Senator Morfeld talks with me about formative influences in his life, including being raised in a single parent household with his working mom occasionally using government subsidies and food support when times were tough. Senator Morfeld also discusses avoiding the corruption of power, how legislation gets made, working with elected officials across the aisle, and his aspirations for Civic Nebraska's efforts.
