Get StartedI believe Nebraskans should have the freedom to make their own decisions regarding reproductive health and not be subject to government mandates. Learn more
We must guarantee law enforcement officers have the tools and training to keep our communities safe. We must also increase funds to make mental health services that are affordable and accessible. Learn more
In Congress, I will continue to work with our veterans to provide them the healthcare they need, including mental health services, and guarantee workforce development opportunities are available when they return to civilian life. Learn more
As your Representative, I will continue to work with farmers and ranchers around our district to make sure our small family farms thrive. Learn more
Growing our small businesses. Learn more
It’s time to reclaim an economy that lifts us all up with great jobs, strong safety nets and a fair tax system that demands all pay their share. From family farmers pushing back against monopolies, to union workers striking for a living wage, to small business owners struggling to compete on a level playing field, I’ll be the voice for every family in Nebraska. Learn more
I support caps on student loan interest rates, funding for apprenticeship programs and community colleges, and in limited circumstances the forgiveness of student loans, especially in response to the loan struggles arising during the pandemic. By investing in our public education system and our struggling students, we can grow our local economies and help Nebraska businesses find the right workers. Learn more
I support diversifying our energy sources at home. Diversity generates power. While there is no silver bullet, I believe in incentives for ethanol, solar and wind production here in Nebraska, as well as carbon sequestration initiatives. Learn more
I’ll invest in green energy and the green jobs that come with it, research and technology that make Nebraska an exciting place to live and work, and strong public schools that produce our next generation of problem solvers. Learn more
I also believe the 2nd amendment does not guarantee every gun, in every place at every time. Certain common sense restrictions are necessary to protect our schools, places of worship, hospitals and communities. Learn more
We must make full-spectrum, high-quality health care accessible to all Nebraskans. I’m working to get us all covered, protect the millions of Americans with pre-existing conditions, lower prescription drug prices, strengthen rural hospitals and invest in rural access to specialist care. Learn more
Access to health care is a basic right for all Americans. I will vote to bring down prescription drug costs and set a cap on insulin prices. I will also work to expand Medicare and Medicaid coverage. Unlike my opponent, who voted against lowering ACA health premiums for millions of Americans and against setting a cap of $35 on insulin, I believe no American should go bankrupt receiving the healthcare they need. Learn more
Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid are tremendously successful programs with broad support. I will protect these benefits and fight any efforts to privatize or cut them. Promises to our seniors must be kept. I will also make sure we continue to expand Medicaid services into our rural communities and rural hospitals. Learn more
We also must guarantee family medical leave and stand up to predatory corporations that value profits over people. Learn more
I support common sense solutions such as increasing the number of immigration judges and continuing to fund our Alternatives to Detention Program. Learn more
I’ll champion legislation that delivers safer roads and bridges, better public transportation options and rural broadband to all of our communities. But infrastructure isn’t just building bridges and roads — it’s about bridging the divides that prevent us from moving forward, and building roads into a brighter day ahead. Learn more
Will focus on our district – keeping taxes low. Learn more
To make everyday expenses like gas and groceries more affordable, I will work to raise wages and ensure that predatory businesses are not taking advantage of our workers. Learn more
In Congress I will work to create jobs and help our district grow. Learn more
