My Priorities
Fighting For Our Ag Community
We must do all we can to support the hardworking Nebraskans who make up our agriculture community. That includes ensuring a fair and balanced property tax system that doesn’t place an undue burden on farm land owners.
Safe & High
Quality Schools
There is nothing more important than keeping our children safe in and out of school. As a former school librarian, investing in strong and safe public schools will be a top priority for me starting on day one.
Supporting
Our Veterans
Our veterans put their lives on the line for our country. The least we can do is make sure that Nebraska is a place that appreciates that service by creating policies that help our vets thrive.
Preserve First Amendment Rights
The First Amendment is guaranteed to us by the Constitution and must be protected.
