Papillion: who represents you
Post 32 has called Papillion home since 1919. Today we meet at 230 W. Lincoln St. Below are your officials at every level, when they meet, how to reach them, and the places in town that honor those who served.
Mayor & City Council
The city council decides on local issues such as memorials, street and park dedications, Veterans Day and Memorial Day ceremonies, parade permits, and the parks where many veterans' monuments stand.
Several city seats were on the November 3, 2026 ballot. Confirm who is serving at papillion.gov before you reach out.

Your state senator
Papillion is split among several legislative districts. Use the Legislature's "Find Your Senator" tool to confirm yours.
Sen. Arch is term-limited, so District 14 gets a new senator when the 110th Legislature convenes on January 6, 2027. Sen. Andersen introduced several 2026 veterans bills, including LB882 (veteran homestead exemptions) and LB998 (a Guard income tax deduction, now law).
U.S. Congress
Sarpy County is split between NE-1 and NE-2. A new Congress is sworn in on January 3, 2027. Rep. Don Bacon (NE-2) is retiring when his term ends.
