Rural Nebraskan. Fighting for a New Generation of the Good Life.

I’m proud to continue to speak up for my community. Cass County farmers and residents don’t want hyper-scale data centers burdening our land, natural resources, or residents. Thank you to the Cass County Commissioners for their leadership on this issue. www.3newsnow.com/news/local-n...

‘We just don’t want it:’ Cass County bans hyperscale data centers

Cass County will not allow large-scale data centers to be built within its borders, commissioners announced Tuesday.

200 people gathered in Tecumseh, Nebraska tonight for a Rally for Democracy supporting Lynne Walz for Nebraska and Democratic candidates. Nebraska’s farmers and rural communities have been left behind by our current elected officials. It’s time for a change!

I spent the afternoon at the Ben Nelson BBQ hosted at the Laborers’ International Union Hall in Omaha. Great food and even better candidates. Nebraska can break out of this cycle of high prices, large deficits, and deep divisions by electing new leaders in November. 🇺🇸🌽

Cass County and all Nebraskans deserve elected officials who put working people, rural communities, and family farmers first. We're grappling with major challenges as a state and I trust that these candidates will fight for everyday Nebraskans in office. I am proud to offer my personal endorsement.

The past several months I have worked to inform residents in Cass County of data center projects totaling nearly 6,000 acres of prime farmland surrounding the communities of Plattsmouth, Murray, and Beaver Lake.

I rounded out the final day of the primary campaign with a Meet and Greet at the Farmhouse Lounge in Weeping Water. Glad to be joined by Eric Moyer for Congress and Sarah Slattery for Nebraska Secretary of State in the final push before Election Day tomorrow.

Beautiful day knocking doors in Lincoln this afternoon where we knocked over 100 doors! I am so proud of all that we have accomplished these past 13 months and I hope everyone will join me in casting your ballot tomorrow. 🗳️

I had a great meeting this morning with the folks over at CASA in Plattsmouth. The work they are doing is incredibly important in advocating for abused and neglected children in our community.

🚨 Election reminder 🚨 RFS candidates are on the ballot May 12 in: 📍Delaware 📍Nebraska 📍West Virginia School boards. City councils. State legislatures. The races that shape everyday life. Local elections aren’t “small.” They’re where change starts.

Throughout this campaign, I've made it clear that we need State Senators who will put People over Politics and Policy over Party. For far too long our elected officials in Lincoln have been unresponsive to the will of the people.

🗳️ Question of the Day❓ My motivation for running really comes from my upbringing. As somebody that grew up poor, I know what it is like to struggle. I worked a minimum-wage job in high school and have worked through college.

A phenomenal Letter to the Editor from Dianne Bystrom in today’s Lincoln Journal Star. Nebraskans have received the same broken promises to lower property taxes and make life more affordable for three decades. More of the same isn’t going to solve today’s challenges.

🗳️ Question of the Day❓ For the fifth video in this series, I talk about the value of having Gen-Z candidates on the ballot to not only bring young people back into the political process but also create good policy rooted in the lived experiences of Nebraskans.

We are one week to the primary election! Make a plan to vote! If you have a vote by mail ballot return it to a drop box. Vote early in-person or vote on Election Day, May 12, polls are open 8:00am to 8:00pm. A photo ID is required.

Our fourth question of the day discusses the importance of young perspectives in the Legislature during crucial debates like the one on LB258. Nebraskans would be better represented by a range of perspectives and lived experience instead of primarily older and wealthy voices in the Legislature.

🗳️ Question of the Day❓ Our third question of the day video addresses building a winning campaign and political coalitions across partisan divisions. The genius behind our nonpartisan unicameral is the possibility for State Senators to coalesce around policy and not party.

Today is May Day, also known as International Workers’ Day. Nebraska has a rich history of farmers and laborers coming together to form cooperatives, collectively bargain, and improve conditions for the working class.

🗳️ Question of the Day❓ The second edition of our Question of the Day series. Recent reporting from the Flatwater Free Press describes our state's economy as "stuck in neutral" or "stagnant. Today's question: How does brain drain affect Nebraska's economy and communities?

🗳️ Question of the Day❓ We're launching a new Question of the Day series between now and the May 12 primary. Hear directly from me on my campaign and the issues. Today's question: What does the message of a new generation of the good life really mean for Nebraskans?
