I’m focused on delivering real solutions to the challenges facing Nebraskans today. From making life more affordable and ensuring families can keep more of what they earn, to driving investment in education and local job growth, to expanding opportunity for all to succeed — I’m committed to building a stronger, brighter future for Papillion and La Vista.
  • AFFORDABILITY - bigger paychecks and lower taxes!

    I will maximize what Nebraskans earn by eliminating burdensome regulations to promote growth and opportunity.

    I will help Nebraskans keep more of what they earn by reducing taxes and housing costs, especially for seniors and the middle class.
  • INVESTMENT. I will invest in our kids by supporting public schools and expanding opportunities for excellence in primary, secondary, and vocational education. I will invest in our communities by supporting the first responders that keep our community safe and attracting & retaining employers that provide secure, high-paying jobs.
  • OPPORTUNITY. I will protect the unborn and foster an environment for families and children to succeed. I will preserve our values, protect our rights, and restore hope for a better future.
