Legislature, District 48

“Longer term I still want a simpler tax structure — broad-based sales tax instead of stacking income, property and inheritance taxes — so families and farms are not punished for owning something and building something.”

“Tax cuts without spending restraint is just a tax shift. Real relief requires an equal decrease in government spend.”

“Keep the LB 754 income and corporate rate cuts on schedule so Nebraska can compete with neighboring states and so working families keep more of what they earn.”

“On the growth side I will keep championing agriculture and small business: higher ethanol blends that raise demand for our corn, protecting farmland from foreign control (LB 1120) and cutting regulatory obstacles so producers and local shops can expand.”

“Brian supports exploring new markets for local produce and attracting ag-related businesses to our region.”

“As HHS Committee chair, I have said we will be front and center on cuts — but they have to be surgical so we do not deepen the rural medical desert while we close the books.”

“Actively backed legislation to prohibit the teaching of divisive Critical Race Theory and inappropriate gender ideology in Nebraska schools, while strongly advocating school choice (LB753) to empower parents to choose schools aligning with their values.”

“A statewide ban is the wrong tool. Counties and NRDs know their water and their land.”

“Pair it with no ImagiNE subsidies for data centers, full public disclosure of water and electricity use, and Natural Resources District review so a project cannot quietly drain a basin.”

Campaign website text

Campaign website text

“Championed increases in funding, resources, and training for Nebraska State Patrol and local law enforcement agencies to ensure community safety and officer retention.”

“The purpose of the bill would be to fill gaps in the traffic code that fail to address reckless drivers who cause serious bodily injury.”

“The 33-vote threshold needs to fall to 30 or even 28 to break cloture.”

“The people reserved the initiative power, and two-thirds of the Unicameral is already a high bar to amend what voters pass.”

“Whether the individual legislator agrees with the voter-approved law or not, the voters voted, and it should stand. When I am in Lincoln, my role is to uphold the will of the people.”

“Yearly legislative audits that are not made into a political three-ring circus would be helpful.”
