Ballotpedia also asked the candidate a series of optional questions. Jackie Collett answered the following:
Who do you look up to? Whose example would you like to follow, and why?
| “ | My parents have overcome great obstacles and exemplify what it means to be compassionate.[3] | ” |
| “ | I'm a fighter. I focus on facts and evidence-based programs and policies. I am honest.[3] | ” |
| “ | State senators must represent and listen to their constituents, be honest and transparent, and fully feel the enormity of the commitment that is necessary to be effective.[3] | ” |
| “ | I want to leave a legacy that encapsulates hard work, fighting for equality, and demonstrating compassion to all people.[3] | ” |
| “ | The Challenger explosion in 1986 - I was 6. That makes me 38 years old now.[3] | ” |
| “ | When I was a child, I worked on my grandparents' dairy farm in Wisconsin over summer break. When I was 14, I started working part-time at the Omaha Public Library.[3] | ” |
| “ | On my first date with my husband, I had to leave early to put my sick cat down.[3] | ” |
| “ | Previous experience is probably helpful in understanding process and procedures. However, if a person wants to shake things up, a lack of experience is helpful.[3] | ” |
| “ | Creating an economic structure that levels the playing field for all Nebraskans, ensuring affordable healthcare, and creating an education system that provides equal access for all students.[3] | ” |
| “ | Legislators should be able to communicate openly and be heard without worry that the governor will target and attack them.[3] | ” |
