My top concern is long-term funding stability for K-12 public schools. Nebraska relies too heavily on property taxes, which pressures homeowners and creates uncertainty for districts facing rising costs like health care, utilities, and staffing.
We should strengthen state support to reduce that burden while keeping funding stable for students and classrooms. Public tax dollars should be focused on public schools. At the same time, we must preserve local control so districts can meet the needs of their communities—what works in Bennington may not work elsewhere.
We also need to support teachers, expand career pathways, and ensure accountability and results for students.
The most effective economic development tools build long-term capacity, not just short-term incentives. That starts with investing in workforce development through strong public education, apprenticeships, and career training. We also need to support entrepreneurs and small businesses, which are the backbone of local economies and long-term growth. Infrastructure—roads, broadband, water, and reliable energy—is critical. Tax policy should be stable and balanced so growth does not shift the burden onto homeowners. Incentives can play a role, but they should be transparent, limited, and tied to measurable outcomes.
Nebraska works best when we recognize rural and urban communities face different challenges, not competing priorities. In growing areas like Bennington, that means addressing school capacity, infrastructure, public safety, and rising property tax and utility costs—while preserving local control so communities can remain who they are.
Across the state, we should allocate resources based on need, accountability, and long-term value, not politics. That means investing in education, infrastructure, workforce development, and safer communities in ways that support both growth and stability statewide.
The role of a state senator is to represent their district, make informed decisions, and ensure government is accountable and focused on results. That requires balancing local priorities with what is best for the state.
Constituent feedback is essential. It means showing up, listening, and staying accessible—not just during elections. I believe in weighing that input alongside data and long-term impacts, and being transparent about how decisions are made. Even when people disagree, they should know they were heard and that decisions were made thoughtfully and responsibly.

Nimbleness. We are in a secular shift technologically, socially, and economically. Equipping our parents, teachers, faculty, and admin with the necessary resources to educate our kids in a fast-changing environment.
Nebraska deserves leadership that prioritizes growth. The solution needs to be comprehensive.
Economic development is driven by a competitive tax structure, a smart regulatory framework, a cohesive marketing campaign, inclusive policies, and an incentives toolkit that strikes the right balance with focused investment and accountability for taxpayers.
I respect that I would represent LD18 and make decisions that affect greater Nebraska.
I will seek policies and priorities that have the biggest benefit to our State and drive the biggest impact for working Nebraskans.
A state senator is the district's servant and voice in the Nebraska Unicameral.
Leadership in this role means working to solve the problems Nebraskans face every day, specifically making life more affordable, providing property tax relief, expanding housing, improving healthcare, investing in education, and creating more opportunity for the next generation of Nebraskans.
I will seek out and value constituent feedback. That's why I am knocking on as many doors as I can to hear what Nebraskans are facing and expect from their representation.
