State issues
Property taxes & state budget
Examiner questionnaire (Budget): “In 2023, we passed significant tax cuts when the state had the budgetary surplus to absorb them, without pairing them with a plan for what happens when revenue slows down (for example, budget circuit breakers and connecting economic incentives to performance).”
Examiner questionnaire (Spending): “Legislative spending priorities should focus on evidence-based strategies that strengthen our economy and expand opportunity for Nebraskans. That means investing in a strong education system, modern and reliable infrastructure and a high-quality, accessible health care system.”

Sports betting/gaming & 2026 ballot measures (440/441/442)
Examiner questionnaire (2026 Ballot Questions): “I have a clear record in the Legislature on respecting the will of Nebraska voters, regardless of the outcome of ballot measures. This fall, Nebraskans will have the opportunity to have their voices heard on various measures, and regardless of where the voters fall, I will continue to respect their will.”

Agriculture, water & energy (OPPD/NPPD/NRDs)
Examiner questionnaire (Natural Resources/Data Centers): “Nebraska is on track to have data centers consume a significant and growing share of our electricity by 2030. This fact should be driving our policy today, not down the road when contracts with major corporations are already signed.”
Elections / voting
Examiner questionnaire (Ballot Measures): “Nebraska is one of 26 states that allows citizen-led ballot initiatives, a process we take great pride in as a state. This system ensures that Nebraskans can directly create laws when they feel their elected representatives are not reflecting their values.”
