Legislatura, Distrito 16

“The state should increase its share of K-12 funding, provide schools with predictable support and reduce the pressure placed on local property owners.”

“I support reviewing and, where necessary, reversing reductions enacted in recent years, particularly those that disproportionately benefit corporations and the highest earners.”

“The number one issue that concerns the voters of District 16 involves property taxes. We must work on real solutions to lower them, which in turn would make Nebraska more competitive in attracting businesses and working families.”

“Nevertheless, limits to the growth of property tax rates may need to be strongly considered, particularly due to the increase in property tax payments exceeding the rate of personal income growth over the past 25 years.”

“Our economic development strategies should be centered more on small business growth and less on large corporate incentives that have proven less than effective.”

“I would also support policies that help locally owned businesses start, expand and transition to new ownership.”

“The state’s office of economic development should be expanded to create a more aggressive approach to business acquisition and expansion.”

“The state should increase its share of K-12 funding, provide schools with predictable support and reduce the pressure placed on local property owners.”

“Emphasizing these career pathways with training beginning even in high school should be encouraged.”

“The state should support local Natural Resources Districts, strengthen groundwater monitoring, address nitrate contamination and work with agricultural producers to encourage conservation practices that protect productivity without imposing impractical one-size-fits-all mandates.”

“I do not support a statewide ban on data centers.”

“If done in a responsible manner, with protections for water and electricity usage, Nebraska communities could benefit from their construction, completion and added tax revenue.”
