Strengthen Public Education
Lincoln is lucky to have an excellent public education
system filled with quality teachers. We need to fully fund
K-12 needs so class sizes can stay small and our children
can learn and succeed in today’s global economy.
Here in the 46th District we are the proud home of the
University of Nebraska-Lincoln City and East Campuses. We
must ensure that the University has the resources it needs
to keep tuition costs within the reach of working families
and the flexibility to continue to develop new technologies
which is key to our economic development.
Strong Neighborhoods
North Lincoln is known for the rich fabric of its neighborhoods
and its many unique and beautiful historic homes. We need
to create incentives to continue investment in historic
homes and neighborhoods to preserve this tradition.
Protecting Lincoln Families
Like many other communities across our state and nation,
Lincoln is plagued by increasing meth use and production.
Danielle takes this problem seriously. We need to work together
to combat this problem. We need to ensure our first responders
have the tools they need to deal with this issue and we
need to invest more in prevention and treatment programs.
Fostering Economic Development
Danielle is committed to making sure Lincoln is an appealing
place to do business for existing business and new companies
looking to relocate. Good jobs are the best tool we have
to help working families succeed. We need to ensure a business
climate that is vibrant and growing.
Tools To Help Small Businesses
Succeed
North Lincoln is filled with many small businesses—these
the backbone of our economy. We need to ensure that our
economic development policies take into account the unique
challenges small businesses face. It is difficult for small
businesses to make a profit while paying good wages and
providing healthcare to employees. We should allow small
businesses to buy into the state employee insurance pool.
This will bring their costs down and allow them to provide
meaningful access to healthcare benefits for their employees.
Property Tax Relief
Heavy property taxes are a growing burden on our citizens,
especially those who are retired and on a fixed and limited
income. Some senior citizens are unable to keep up with
rising taxes on their homes and are forced to move to cheaper
housing or live with their children. Others move to states
where taxes are lower. I support a cap on property taxes
for most retirees so that they can remain in their homes
and in Nebraska
