I'm a patriot, husband, father and I want to fight for our rights and our values. I am dedicated, driven, passionate and energetic. I'll fight for you and your rights. I'm currently running as a write-in grassroots candidate. I'm fighting hard now to get to the general ticket and will fight just as hard in the legislature, for you. We'll do the work and keep first things first.
- Right to Life
- School Choice
- Freedom and Constitutional Government
Pro life: I'll fight hard to recognize legal personhood for the unborn on through to their natural death.
Constitutionalist government: We have rights from God, not the state or government. The rights of the people must be recognized or we won't have a country.
Pro school choice: I want to give parents and students the control and choice in their education.
Good public schools: Teach children the truth, not fictional pseudo-history and unscientific genders/sexuality.
Election integrity /voter ID's: We'll secure the outcome of our elections.
Tax Reform: We have a consumption tax model that shows a great potential. Also, I want to focus on bringing more jobs to workers here in rural Nebraska. I also want to increase the standard of living for regular people and working families.
My parents. They have been faithful to each other in difficulty, loving, and gave us all wonderful childhoods. Beyond that my favorite historic figures, are George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, Martin Luther, Gustavus Adolphus, Fredrick Douglas etc. Bravery and a sense of being called to do the right thing even in the face of great opposition.
The Founder's Bible.
Proverbs teaches that "the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom."
Wisdom, Integrity, Reverence, Honesty, Compassion, Virtue, and Diligence are all extremely important.
Dedication and devotion to my principles which come from my faith.
Problem solving and listening skills. Ability to read and comprehend. Most importantly keeping the citizens in mind.
I'll quote Founding Father, Benjamin Rush here, "I shall be better satisfied if the same can be said of me as was said of the prophet of old, "That I walked in the fear of the Lord, and begat sons and daughters" [Genesis 5:22], then if it were inscribed on my tombstone that I governed the councils or commanded the arms of the whole continent of America."
September 11th, 2001. I was very young, I'm pretty sure I was 10. I didn't understand much at the time. Before that I remember a little about the election of George W. Bush as president.
In high school I was Wendy's Grill Chef for a couple years.
The Founders Bible, powerful truth and purpose.
Superman/Clark Kent.
"I Hold On" by Dierks Bentley
The desire to fix things can be frustrating when you don't have the power to.
Checks and balances. If one misbehaves the other should correct them. Also, cooperative in passing just laws and working to ensure the rights of the citizens.
Ensuring the rights of its citizens great and small. There are a lot of issues ranging from unjust taxes to medical tyranny that those in power use to seize and exercise more power. We need to keep our first principles at the forefront.
More drawback then benefits. A unicameral would be more efficient but it just isn't because you have certain districts, chiefly the major metropolitan areas, vastly overrepresented while multiple counties are tossed together. Perhaps at one time it might have been more beneficial but now it is just a mess and largely ineffective.
Yes, I think there's a benefit to knowing how things run in government. But I don't think that the problems of the legislature are due to inexperienced legislators, its due to corruption and inefficiency,
Absolutely although there are some legislators, I would reject being more than polite to. Although the legislature requires deals to be made and votes to be won in order to serve the people.
Governers and legislators should draw maps in collaboration, and judges should rule on where there are issues of legality and representation.
1.Education, 2. Judiciary and/or 3. Government, Military and Veteran Affairs.
Not particularly. I will be truly unique.
I've spoken to farmers who are required to pay exorbitant taxes on land that they own, whether or not they make a profit on that land. I've heard from people who are sick of government abuse and overreach. I've heard from people who worry that if prices of gas and goods go higher, they won't be able to afford their cost of living. I've heard from parents that are upset at the curriculum in their child's school and others that are furious at the continuous sexualization of children from various ideologies. I've heard from gun owners concerned the government won't protect their right to self-defense. Most prominently though I heard from people upset at the embarrassment of our failure to pass legislation to end abortion.
A blind man walked into a bar and orders a shot. He swigs it down and asks the bartender, "Hey barkeep, want to hear a blonde joke?"
The blind man hadn't realized, but the bartender tells him "Just so you know, I am a blonde woman, the Sheriff over there in the corner is a blonde woman, the gal sitting next to you is a former marine and she's blonde, the mayor over at this table to your left she's a blonde, and the former kickboxing champion just walked in and she's also a blonde, SO are you sure you want to tell this joke?"
The blind man just sits there for a little while and orders another shot. After drinking it he just says, "Well, never mind, I don't want to explain it 5 times."
I'm generally against the use of emergency powers at all. If such powers are necessary, it should be very limited and specific.
Sometimes, although not in core principles and values.
