2022 NE Governor's race: on Government Reform


Brett Lindstrom: Government should never operate as nanny towards business

Small businesses are the lifeblood of Nebraska's economy - facing enough challenges without Governmental interference. As Brett travels throughout the state, he is hearing that businesses are struggling to keep their doors open due to staffing and supply issues. Unconstitutional mandates have seeped into every business in every community. Nebraskans are standing up for their livelihoods - and as Governor, Brett will walk alongside you so that government never operates as your nanny.

Brett Lindstrom: Make it easier to vote and harder to cheat

When it comes to election integrity, Brett is fighting to make it easier to vote and harder to cheat. Free and fair elections are the cornerstone of our democracy. It's past time we make sure our elections are fair, transparent, and that all legal votes are counted. One man, one vote: period.

Chuck Herbster: Supports Trump's claim of 2020 election irregularities

Hours before a political mob stormed the U.S. Capitol, Herbster was in the crowd as Trump rallied supporters near the White House to keep fighting to overturn the election results. Herbster condemned the violence. He said he agrees with Trump that Congress should listen to the millions of Americans who have questions about election integrity. "It should be our duty to explore those election irregularities, no matter how big or small," Herbster said.

Chuck Herbster: Conservatives have to push against federal overreach

Herbster said a governor's responsibility was two-fold. First and foremost, a governor is supposed to lead the people of their state, he said. "But secondly, we're at a point in America where governors are going to have to be conservative individuals with a strong backbone. And they're going to have to push against federal government overreach."

Chuck Herbster: America is broke, and the answer is term limits

He said Washington politicians don't control their spending. "Washington is not going to fix itself." Raising the debt ceiling only puts the nation deeper in debt, he said. "America is broke, and the answer is term limits: two terms for the Senate and three or four terms for the House."

Jim Pillen: Stand up to radicals using fake meat to attack Nebraska

The assault on modern agriculture has never been more evident than it is now. You can be sure I will fight against overreach by the federal government, like Joe Biden's 30x30 land grab and the Waters of the U.S. rule, and I will stand up to radicals who want to use fake meat to put Nebraska agriculture out of business. In Nebraska, we feed the world-we don't need government throwing up unnecessary regulation and red tape to stunt our innovation.
