State issues
Property taxes & state budget
Examiner questionnaire (Budget): “I would emphasize funding for essential services and investments that strengthen Nebraska’s long-term future, including education, public safety, infrastructure, water and programs that support economic and workforce development.”
Examiner questionnaire (Spending): “If elected, I would prioritize spending that delivers a strong return for Nebraska. Especially in workforce development, rural infrastructure and value-added agriculture. Investing in technical training, apprenticeships and business development helps grow our workforce and supports small businesses.”

Sports betting/gaming & 2026 ballot measures (440/441/442)
Examiner questionnaire (2026 Ballot Questions): “1. Online sports betting: I support legalizing and carefully regulating online sports betting. Nebraskans are already spending money on these platforms outside our state. A regulated system can provide consumer protections, keep revenue in Nebraska, and generate additional dollars for property tax relief.”

Agriculture, water & energy (OPPD/NPPD/NRDs)
Examiner questionnaire (Natural Resources/Data Centers): “Protecting Nebraska’s land and water must be a priority. Agriculture, our communities and our economy depend on responsible management of these resources.”
Elections / voting
Examiner questionnaire (Ballot Measures): “I believe the Legislature’s role is to respect the will of the voters while ensuring laws are implemented effectively. When voters pass a law, their intent should be honored. The Legislature can provide clarity, address unintended consequences and ensure the law works in practice but not override the decision.”
