§3What they've said on the issues
Why this matters: These are positions the candidate has stated publicly — on their campaign website or in public statements — summarized in plain words with a link to where they said it. Issues they haven't spoken about publicly are left out.
Drafted by AI from the public sources cited. Each sentence links to its source.
Each issue has its own range of views. A position is marked on that range only when the candidate's own statement clearly matches one option; there is no overall left–right score.
Taxes and Budget
His campaign's policy framework calls for averaging property valuations over several years to reduce swings and for valuing farmland more on what it produces, and sets a long-term goal of reducing schools' reliance on local property taxes by cutting the local effort rate from one dollar to fifty cents.5
Education
His campaign's policy framework says the state should move toward paying about half of core K-12 education costs as its finances allow.5
- Increase state funding for public schools
- Hold funding near current levels
- Reduce state school funding or slow its growth
Housing
His campaign's policy framework says communities should shape their own housing solutions, with the state as a partner rather than a writer of mandates.6
§4Money
Why this matters: Campaigns report where their money comes from and how much they have left.
Candidates for governor file campaign-finance reports with the state, not the FEC, so this guide doesn't include their fundraising. Search the state's reports: Campaign finance system search — Nebraska Accountability and Disclosure Commission.9
