Expand all | Collapse all

A middle-class, working Nebraskan that stands firm on two documents of principle - the Holy Bible and the U.S. Constitution. A leader by nature and training, a manager through professional experience, a father and husband.

  • As a Constitutionalist, the rights and liberties of the people must be protected, first and foremost.
  • I will fight diligently against abortion with the intent to ban it completely. Abortion equals murder. Period.
  • Our tax structure is crippling our state. I have a solution to the problem and a strategy to get it fixed once and for all.

Restoring and protecting the constitutional rights of the people. Putting an end to abortion. Replacing our tax system with a more efficient and liberty-based one. Eliminating racial indoctrination and grotesque sexual education from our schools. Protecting the people's health freedoms from mandates such as masks and vaccines. Integrating broadband and building a ready-to-break-ground infrastructure. Cutting wasteful government spending and implementing a proper financial reporting system.

I personally aspire to maintain the principles and characteristics of George Washington, Stonewall Jackson, Gen. George Patton, Ronald Reagan, and Edmund Burke. All these names are individuals that greatly affected meaningful, godly, and patriotic changes to our country. These men did not become great, they already were great. They were just given an opportunity to perform.

I put God first in all things. This is a country founded on Christian principles. I will lead in maintaining recognition and appeal to God for all matters.

I am an individual that stands firm on principle . What's right is right, and what's wrong is wrong. Principle remains constant and does not change with perceived logic or statistics.

I am a manager by trade. I have experience in budgeting, hiring/firing, and making tough decisions.

I am a leader by nature and training. I will lead by example and not ask others to do what I won't do.

I am a full perspective thinker. I work hard to see the issue from all angles to ensure a complete understanding of the problem at hand.

I am a solution-finder. I look inside and outside the box to create and identify solutions that will fix the core issues and not violate the rights of the people.

I am a well-versed communicator. Nothing can be accomplished in government without working with others.

I am a middle-class citizen. I have no interest in clout, celebrity status, or money. I am here to make my our home a better place.

Hog confinement worker at the age of 12.

As governor, I am a leader, a role model, a representative of Nebraska, and a guardian. The governor interfaces with both, state affairs and federal affairs. A governor is a leader of the people - to use his resources to embolden, educate, motivate his constituents, and represent the needs of the people.

The governor is the watchdog for the people. His first objective should be to protect them from bad state and federal policies, especially those that infringe on the rights of the people.

The governor must have a healthy and working relationship with the legislature if he is to accomplish meaningful change. This relationship is achieved with active listening, common respect, and astute communication.

Ballotpedia does not edit or correct typographical errors unless the candidate's campaign requests it.
