Legislative history section

For the legislative history section, I removed all information that was only referenced in Nebraska Legislature primary sources. I felt that those should be removed under the purview of WP:NOTNEWS. In my opinion it was also WP:TMI. After all, there are US Senators with articles that are less detailed in regards to legislative history than Carol Blood, such as Roger Wicker and Brian Schatz. In my opinion, I don't think it's necessary to list all of Carol Blood's sponsored bills, unless those bills have received coverage in a reliable source. The section also just reads like a list of bills,. It might be more useful if the section was organized in a way to explain Carol Blood's political positions, such as here.

@Mswari: Once again, I am going to remove all of the content in this section that is only referenced to primary sources. Wikipedia is not a news agency and interpretations of primary sources such as legislative bills require to derive their interpretations from secondary sources (see WP:PRIMARY). Bait30 ^Talk? 04:00, 7 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I agree that unless it is sourced to a secondary source, and then only maybe, it should not be in the article, this is not a campaign page.--VViking_TalkEdits 23:44, 8 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
