Campaign website

Gudgel's campaign website stated the following:

“	Our Omaha When people arrive in Omaha from different places around the world and bring their unique backgrounds, experiences, and skills, Omaha becomes a better, richer place for all of us. The Omaha Promise Mark Gudgel’s Omaha Promise is simple: if you worked hard in high school and got into an Omaha area college, the City of Omaha will help make sure you go to college. Marijuana Policy The State of Nebraska’s current laws regarding the possession of marijuana are currently a burden on law enforcement and disproportionately impact communities of color, despite the fact that marijuana is used proportionately the same amount regardless of race. Sustainability Plan There are a lot of things that are up for debate in politics, and there is plenty that is open for discussion. No other policy matters, however, if we do not do our part to ensure that Omaha is still livable 30 years from now. COVID-19 Response The past nine months have shown that the people of Omaha have unbelievable resilience and courage. As a city we have seen our community step up in ways we hoped they would never have to in a time of crisis. Proposal to Move City Election Dates When elected, Mark Gudgel will make it a priority to adjust the dates of the elections in order to save money and increase turnout, all of which will dramatically improve Omaha’s democracy. LGBTQ+ Bill of Rights With Mark Gudgel as our mayor, we will introduce city ordinances that will help ensure these inalienable rights to a particular community that is so often excluded from all three of these most basic rights: the LGBTQ+ community. Our Roads With Mark Gudgel as mayor, we will make sure you stay safe and the roads become drivable. Supporting Local Businesses Locally owned businesses are the backbone of our city, country, and society in general. As the son of small business owners, Mark is fully aware of the struggles, costs, and joys of business ownership. In order for Omaha to thrive, the city must embrace and support both small locally-owned businesses as well as welcome large and growing companies to make Omaha their home. Housing Plan Our country was founded under the principles that all people are created equal and have the right to life, liberty, and property. The right to have a roof over your head and to be able to afford your home is a basic human right.	”
