I am personally pro-life. However, I am also 100% anti-medical mandates. Medical professionals deserve to have access to all medical solutions to ensure best possible care of a patient. The decision to terminate a pregnancy is highly personal and should not be influenced by government mandates. Creating medical policies which only serve to turn citizens into criminals is not the solution. I believe the solution resides in mass education efforts and making over the counter birth control redily available. I will work to invest heavily in our foster care and adoption programs. Women should feel confident that a decision to carry a child to term is the best option, but also know that in cases of rape, incest, or medical complications, they will not be criminalized for seeking medical support.

I support aid to organizations like planned parenthood in order to provide ease of access for women's healthcare up to, but not including termination of life procedures.

Everyone deserves bodily autonomy and highly personal decisions regarding healthcare should be administered between a healthcare professional and the individual.

The Nebraska tax system is a tangled web which needs to be sorted out completely. Long term, I see a Nebraska where income taxes do not exist and property taxes have a locked in rate and sunset date. Short term, as Governor I will focus insuring Nebraska's tax revenue is not being squandered away. I will work towards ending TEEOSA which allows state government to control those dollars. We will work to revamp the Education system, the largest tax expenditures in Nebraska and push for private education and home schooling opportunities. It's a long road to tax a major reform in Nebraska. As a state we are overly dependent on the property tax revenue. Ultimately, I would like to see individuals who are of retirement age and whom own their property free from liens become free from property tax burdens.

I will work towards developing a fiscally responsible model of public education, which allows for innovation and creation of non-traditional methods of educating children. I will advocate for private education organizations to enter the market place and provide opportunities for parents to have more oversight and involvement in their children's education. Additionally, I will seek to resolve our prison crisis in Nebraska, by evaluating incarceration rates and evaluating sentencing practices in our state. Incarceration in our state prisons should be a last resort and reserved for violent offenders and individuals who are a true threat to our safety and security. I will work to reduce the burden on this system by reducing or eliminating prison terms for offenders of victimless crimes, which is the majority of the system today. I will divert resources into rehabilitation and mental health programs in order to support these individuals transition to becoming better citizens of Nebraska. The Judicial system must be non-political and I will work to ensure equality before the law is the top priority in our Judicial system.

Strongly Disagree

I will work towards developing a model for public education which will allow opportunities for students who are 16 or older and are demonstrating a mastery level competency in general education skills to test out of public education. I will also advocate for private-post secondary education and career training opportunities in Nebraska.

Personally, I believe that businesses would be foolish to conduct business rooted in bigotry, but I do not support government intrusion into the business decisions of private business owners. An owner of a business should have the right to refuse services and should not be required, under threat of government force, to provide services.

I support the separation of church and state. We are a nation of many religions and everyone should be free to live according to their own deeply held beliefs. It is not the responsibility of the government to ensure that individuals live according the standards of any one religious base. It is only the responsibility of the government to ensure that all individuals are able to freely exercise this constitutional right.

The people of Nebraska have the right to Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness. Access to quality healthcare is a detrimental component to living a quality life. The less Government involvement in healthcare decisions, the better. I will focus on opening up the healthcare market to include support for physician led healthcare decisions and cash based healthcare options. Medical insurance providers have driven the costs of healthcare to a level which prevents those without access to quality coverage to participate in receiving the best care they could possibly receive. It's time to put Doctors and Patients in charge of those highly personal healthcare decisions.

We are a nation of immigrants. The process to become a citizen needs to be overhauled, made easier to access and attractive to those seeking this status. I do not support criminalization of humans based on where their feet are planted. I will work with experts throughout our nation to ensure that Nebraska is a safe and secure state by incentivizing employers to aid in the immigration process and allow for those seeking to reside in Nebraska to do so readily and efficiently.

I recognize the existence of Gender confusion, opening the floodgates and just allowing all access for all is not the right decision. If we, as a society, are really wanting to address this issue, I would propose the gender specific assignment for public restrooms, with the addition of community/non-gender identifiable facilities. I do not support government mandates on either side, and I believe that businesses and organizations should be free to meet the needs of their communities.

Voting is one of the most powerful things a citizen can do. These votes should be valued and treated with the utmost integrity. All individuals involved in the ballot process should be non-partisan and independent from government interference. When election integrity is of concern, the Election commissioners in each county should be held to the highest standards and be subjected to audits and validations. These individuals have a responsibility to serve their communities and take an oath to protect our constitutional rights. Voting is an essential component of that protection. All ballots should be subjected to audits and any violations should be prosecuted for fraud.

I have been a Libertarian for the last 25 years, because I found that the other two political parties did not represent who I truly am. I have been outspoken about my desire to have less government involvement in my daily life and how I believe that Nebraska residents are best suited to manage their own estates and should be free to do so with minimal interaction with a government.

My top priority will be a focus on Tax Reduction/Elimination.

Short term, as Governor I will focus on ensuring Nebraska's tax revenue is being used efficiently with a focus on Education Reform.

We have a constitutional responsibility to provide access to education in our state, and the current public education system is over extended beyond means to meet the demands of our communities. I will work towards decentralizing education in Nebraska. I will work to develop a fiscally responsible education model, which will allow parents more control and oversight of their children's education. I will expand both private education and homeschooling opportunities throughout the entire state. Additionally, I will work on resolving our criminal justice system challenges. relieve the pressure of the overpopulated prison system by evaluating laws and punishments associated with non-violent and/or victimless crimes with a focus on rehabilitation and reassimilation into society. By reducing the prison population in our state we are better prepared to utilize resources to ensure that those individuals who are a true threat to the safety and security of others can be managed accordingly.
