| Collapse all
- Great public schools are critical for Nebraska's future workforce and growth. Mary Ann is a strong defender of public education who believes public funds ought to support public schools.
- To grow and expand Nebraska's workforce, lawmakers must focus on supports for workers such as affordable, available housing, quality childcare, paid family leave, and access to healthcare.
- Healthcare decisions belong to patients and their doctors, not politicians. Mary Ann trusts Nebraskans to direct their own medical care and that of their children. She trusts Nebraska’s healthcare providers to engage in best practice as determined by medical experts and science.
