National issues
Federal budget / taxes
Examiner questionnaire (Budget): “As Chair of the Republican Main Street Caucus, I’ve pushed for Congress to return to governing through a normal appropriations process instead of governing through continuing resolutions. The House did its job this year by moving all 12 bills through committee. Now, the Senate needs to finish the job.”

Abortion

Immigration / border
Examiner questionnaire (Immigration): “I support President Trump’s work to secure the border and protect public safety by removing criminal illegal immigrants. A secure southern border is vital to the safety of our country. I voted to pass legislation that funds Border Patrol and improves our security technology at the border.”
Questionnaire 2026 primary guide · source ↗
Examiner questionnaire (Birthright Citizenship): “I respect the Supreme Court’s decision on birthright citizenship. However, I believe Congress should take action to modernize our current laws and protect American citizenship. Our world has changed greatly since the 14th Amendment was ratified in 1868.”

Examiner questionnaire (Elections): “I have voted to pass the SAVE Act three times because it is a commonsense measure requiring voter ID at the polls. I have a strong trust in Nebraska’s elections, and I believe they are conducted securely because we have strong election laws. But not every state in our country has the same election security laws.”
