Property taxes and cost of living
Summary
Supports a $100,000 homestead exemption, targeted property tax relief, and more income tax brackets for higher earners.
“I support an expanded universal homestead exemption for $100,000 off primary home taxable valuation and pieces of legislation like the Property Tax Circuit Breaker Act, which would deliver targeted relief to those most at risk of being forced out of their homes.”
“We should design several additional brackets for higher-income earners to stabilize the state budget and ensure that services Nebraskans rely on have the funding they need.”

Supports a temporary moratorium on data center development and says he supports Nebraska's publicly owned power grid.

Elections and government
Summary
Supports the Respect Nebraska Voters ballot initiative and keeping the 33-vote threshold.

“No, I believe the 33-vote threshold is appropriate to ensure adequate deliberation and consensus building.”
