Elections / voting
Examiner questionnaire (Election Oversight): “As secretary of state, my role in overseeing statewide elections will include facilitating proper communication with the county election offices, staff and poll volunteers.”
Examiner questionnaire (Ballot Measures): “My stance on ballot measures is that they are a vital tool for giving a voice to everyday Nebraskans. They provide a way to get a direct answer from the public. These measures allow Nebraskans to bypass the Legislature if they feel elected officials are not working in the public’s best interest.”
