“The Future: My brother is now 4th generation farmer of Luebbe Farms, my husbands family is 3rd generation of Hughes Brothers Manufacturing. We have been in this area for over 100 years and hopefully will be for the next 100 years or more. The future is our children and we are tasked with making things better for them. That means strong schools, good family supporting jobs, and no excessive government regulation and taxation. (I believe in local control whenever possible).”
(Ballotpedia Candidate Connection Survey) “I am very interested in addressing the property tax issue in this state which is really a school funding issue. If we truly value education then every student across the state should get some state aid. Currently we keep "band aiding" the property tax issue with rebate credits, limits, etc.”
(Ballotpedia Candidate Connection Survey) “Economically I think one of the biggest challenges we are going to face is our employment or "lack of". We have one of the lowest unemployment percentages across the country and yet have the highest percentage of people working. So keeping our people here (including our children) will be a must. We need to provide quality education to do that and make sure we are "attractive" to keeping people here and encouraging people to move here. We will need affordable, accessible broadband, affordable and available housing and good amenities in our towns to attract people to the quality of life you can have in Nebraska.”

“We see the people who built this country, the people who feed our country, we see the people who would take the clothes off their back to give their sweatshirt to a neighbor who is cold in this Nebraska winter. What we see are the people who make America great again.”
(Lincoln & Hastings-Krny KOLN) “I do think it's important to share our stories,”
(The 19th News) “I do think it's important to remind people that politics isn't politics. That politics is real people's lives, and our votes change people's lives.”
