Senator Beau McCoy is thought to be the first-ever homeschool graduate to become a state senator. He is also the second-youngest sitting senator ever. Speaking to a capacity crowd of homeschool families in Warner Chamber of the Nebraska Capitol on February 18, Senator McCoy shared with a group of visiting children, “Whatever your dream is—you can achieve it!” The senator recalled his own visit to Washington, D.C. when he was 5 years old. A chance encounter with President Ronald Reagan inspired the senator to seek a life of public service.
