State issues
Property taxes & state budget
Examiner questionnaire (Budget): “In order to stabilize our budget, we must stop making the mistakes that put us here. Four years ago, the state had a billion-dollar surplus.”
Examiner questionnaire (Spending): “I truly believe that a budget is a moral document, and our budget needs to meet the needs of working families. We need housing that people can afford, schools that we are proud to send our kids to, jobs that pay good wages, communities that are safe and an economy where everyone can afford to take care of their family.”

Sports betting/gaming & 2026 ballot measures (440/441/442)
Examiner questionnaire (2026 Ballot Questions): “Nebraska voters, not politicians in the Legislature, should have the final say on ballot measures. I have consistently defended voter-approved policies on medical cannabis, the minimum wage, earned paid sick leave and keeping public dollars in public schools because that is what Nebraskans voted for.”
Guns

Agriculture, water & energy (OPPD/NPPD/NRDs)
Examiner questionnaire (Natural Resources/Data Centers): “Nebraskans deserve to live in communities with clean air, water and soil. We must steward these natural resources for the next generation to enjoy.”
Elections / voting
Examiner questionnaire (Ballot Measures): “Nebraskans went to the ballot box and made their voice clear, but the Legislature undermined them. That is unacceptable. I’ve fought to fully implement ballot measures to match what voters passed, but we didn’t have the votes.”
