“When I was a classroom teacher, I wanted to help all my students excel. As I think about public service in the legislature, that same goal stays in the front of my mind. Too often, lawmakers create barriers that keep people from succeeding, like limiting our individual freedoms and intruding into our personal lives while consistently failing to create policies that make life better and more affordable for hardworking Nebraskans and their families. It’s time for that to change.” – Mary Ann
Now more than ever, Nebraskans need sensible, honest, and open-minded lawmakers who will work together to create legislation that reflects the needs of our communities.
