I’ve missed using my voice to bring people together. I’ve missed standing up for kids, for families, for workers, and for our bright future. I've missed doing the work that matters.

So today, I’m proud to share that I’m running to return to the Nebraska Legislature.

I just became teary as I saw this picture of my dad and thought of all he had risked during WWII for our country. He was wounded near Salerno, Italy, which ended up being a mixed blessing for him because the ship, for which he was second in command, went down a few weeks after he was hospitalized for the wounds caused by a prior German concussion bomb. Thank you to each of you who are veterans and, thus, willing to risk all for our country, our people and our precious democracy.

Do you have a plan to vote tomorrow?

Working families like the Jensens, who are doing all the right things, shouldn’t be struggling. One way we can help families is to make child care more affordable. When a family is paying $2,000 a month for child care, like the Jensens are, it’s no wonder they struggle to make ends meet. We need to provide better support for working families, and I look forward to working on this when I am back in the Legislature.

Why would we precipitously shorten the final term of our wonderful Mayor by 2.5 years OR let people vote in City elections who do not live or pay property taxes in Lincoln?

Join me in keeping Lincoln elections fair. Vote NO on 2, 4 and 6 – and vote YES on 3 and 5.
