(For non-Nebraska candidates) What do you consider the most important differences between the legislative chambers in your state?
| “ | The House is a body that should produce a body of bills for consideration. The Senate should be the producer of more thorough legislation due to experience and size.[3] | ” |
| “ | I believe that legislators should be elected by their constituents due to a built trust. Whether that trust comes from previous government experience or earned connections is the will of the people.[3] | ” |
| “ | The use of natural resources, urban expansion, and education.[3] | ” |
| “ | I believe that both should be in conversation, however ultimately the will of the people as directed by the legislature should be paramount in producing legislation. The governor should act as a natural check to any outlandish use of that power.[3] | ” |
| “ | Of course, bipartisan efforts are essential to districts and their constituents.[3] | ” |
| “ | I believe that communities should be redistricted in a way that values their voice and geographical location, rather than what is advantageous for the parties involved.[3] | ” |
