VOTE411 Voter Guide

Nebraska US Senator

This is a partisan race, but all candidates from all parties are being made available for viewing. Voters registered with the Republican, Democratic, Libertarian and Legal Marijuana NOW parties will only see their party’s candidates on their primary ballots. During a Statewide Primary Election, Nonpartisan voters may request to vote the Federal ballot for the House and Senate from one political party in addition to their Nonpartisan Ballot. They cannot vote the primary ballot for President, Governor, or partisan County offices unless the state political party chooses to allow nonpartisan voters to vote for all partisan offices. State political parties may choose to open their entire partisan ballot to nonpartisan voters prior to each Statewide Primary Election. The Republican primary is a closed race; the only races on the Nonpartisan Republican ballot for this election are for U.S. Senator and U.S. House of Representatives. Nebraska’s other three state political parties are conducting open races; all races for which the parties have candidates will appear on their Nonpartisan ballots. A Nonpartisan voter may only vote for candidates from ONE party, in addition to the regular Nonpartisan ballot.

Immigration reform needs careful, compassionate consideration. We must trust experts who study and understand the issues that drive immigration and the social and economic factors that impact communities near our borders to guide policy-making. We need updated facilities and streamlined processes to ease the burden on those communities most directly affected.
There should be no impediment to a woman's bodily autonomy. Full stop. We must trust experts in reproductive health to provide sound medical advice when it comes to difficult decisions in reproductive matters, and we must trust women to do what is best for themselves and their families.
We must take action by encouraging the exploration and development of renewable energy. Incentivizing research and development of alternatives to fossil fuels, single-use plastics, stemming the use of forever chemicals, and environmentally destructive mining and agricultural practices are all steps in the right direction.
• Income inequality - propose a universal basic income and a 'maximum wage' for CEO pay • Insurmountable healthcare costs - universal healthcare/Medicare for all • Education - bolster public school programs, better teacher pay, strengthen separation of church and state • Gun violence - regulation of firearms and access to firearms
