Becky's Stands on the Top Issues

Nebraska's Working Families & Labor Unions

When labor and business collaborate, our economy thrives.  We achieve superior results and America becomes more resilient. Labor unions guarantee that hardworking Americans receive fair wages, safe and humane working conditions, and proper representation in business deliberations.

 

Women's Reproductive Freedoms

I strongly support a woman's right to make her own healthcare decisions privately with her own doctor.

Honoring Veterans

For generations, brave men and women have answered the call to defend our democracy against threats, both foreign and domestic. The sacrifices made by our service members are profound. The demanding physical and mental prerequisites, coupled with specialized training for cutting-edge techniques and equipment, require our nation’s best and brightest to take the oath of service.

Animal Rights

We love our dogs! Supporting legislation that protects animals is critical. The enactment of robust animal protection legislation can prevent practices that harm animals, such as poaching and illegal trafficking. Moreover, these laws can help maintain ecological balance by protecting endangered species from extinction, preserving our natural heritage.

Policing, Law Enforcement & Fighting Crime

Across our nation, law enforcement officers rise daily, committed to safeguarding our neighborhoods, schools and businesses. Their selfless dedication often means placing themselves in harm’s way to uphold the values we cherish and protect those we love. Acknowledging their sacrifices and equipping them with the necessary support, training, and resources is vital to keeping our communities safe.

Secure Borders & Fair Immigration

A secure border is not just a matter of national defense, it’s essential for upholding the rule of law, safeguarding our economic interests, and ensuring the well-being of our citizens. Secure borders preserve the integrity and efficiency of our immigration system. Yet, while we reinforce these boundaries, we must remember that our nation has been, and always will be, a beacon of hope for all.

Senior Citizens

The well-being of our senior population is not just a matter of preserving Social Security and Medicare but should include expanded access to medical services tailored for senior needs, ensuring that every senior citizen has access to quality health care without the burden of excessive costs.

The Second Amendment & Violence Prevention

In the spirit of upholding the foundation of our great nation, it is imperative that we recognize and respect the Second Amendment, ensuring every law-abiding citizen’s right to bear arms. However, with rights come responsibilities. Our commitment to the Second Amendment should be paralleled by an equally strong commitment to prevent violence and safeguard our communities.

Public Education

Public education is a core feature of a prosperous and cohesive society. It is the means by which we ensure every person, regardless of their socioeconomic background, is given an equal opportunity to achieve their potential and become an informed, engaged citizen. A strong public education system equips our next generation with the knowledge, skills, and values they need for their futures.

Health Care

I will advocate for improved health care for all Americans. While our country boasts the best medical technology in the world, many patients still cannot access this care due to a lack of insurance, restrictive insurance coverage, lengthy wait times for appointments, or geographic barriers to specialized services.

Securing Our Democracy

I will fight to secure our democracy. The presence of shadow money and rampant disinformation have resulted in politicians choosing voters instead of the other way around. Political rhetoric has become alarmingly aggressive and intolerant. We need staunch defenders of democracy in Congress who will listen to the people.
