State issues
Property taxes & state budget
Examiner questionnaire (Budget): “I plan to go through the budget line by line to see exactly where Nebraska is spending money. Making sure public schools are fully funded and important programs for poor and working people are protected are among my top priorities.”
Examiner questionnaire (Spending): “I will prioritize investments that protect our most vulnerable neighbors — including seniors, people with disabilities, and families struggling to make ends meet. At the same time, we must take a hard look at wasteful spending.”

Abortion

Sports betting/gaming & 2026 ballot measures (440/441/442)
Examiner questionnaire (2026 Ballot Questions): “1. Yes, I do support legalizing and regulating online sports betting. It is proposed to bring in around $87 million in revenue over five years. 2. No, I do not support that constitutional amendment because Nebraska has a law in place that addresses this. 3. This will not be on the ballot this year.”
Guns

Immigration

Agriculture, water & energy (OPPD/NPPD/NRDs)
Examiner questionnaire (Natural Resources/Data Centers): “We have to be proactive in protecting Nebraska’s natural resources. I do believe that we need to have legislation regulating data centers. We need to make sure they are providing their own power sources and do not pull from the current electrical grid. Nebraska’s public power keeps costs more affordable for consumers.”
Elections / voting
Examiner questionnaire (Ballot Measures): “Ballot initiatives are a cornerstone of Nebraska’s democracy. The Legislature’s role should be to implement voter-approved laws with little to no alteration unless they are unlawful.”
