What is your top concern about K-12 education in Nebraska and what would be your solution?
My top concern is the funneling of tax dollars to non-public schools. This disproportionately harms traditionalized marginalized populations and rural schools, which is fundamentally wrong.
What steps would you support to ensure access to clean water for all Nebraskans?
I would prioritize testing of water supply and enforcing exiting and implementing new legislation to protect water sources.
What are the most important challenges facing our state, and how do you propose to address them?
I believe the workforce shortage is the most immediate issue in our state. To address this, we need to have affordable childcare and housing. We also need to seriously address the brain drain in Nebraska, if we want to attract businesses, we need to attract their employees.
