Theresa Thibodeau in 2022 NE Governor's race
On Abortion:
As a child, prayed with my parents outside abortion clinics
Life begins at conception. I not only believe in protecting our unborn, I have lived it my entire life. Beginning as a child, praying with my parents outside of Omaha abortion clinics, watching my father save countless
lives as a sidewalk counselor and volunteering for Essential Pregnancy Services from childhood into adulthood. Nebraska is a Pro-Life state, and we are watching the most pro-life generation grow up right before our eyes.

On Budget & Economy:
Trillions in social spending is lunatic's impossible dream
No one knows how much debt we can legitimately sustain before the whole thing collapses, but at $30 trillion and climbing, we are quickly approaching that number. We have spent trillions on Covid. We're going to spend a couple more on infrastructure,
and there are those who would spend trillions and trillions more to right all of the wrongs of the world. It is the impossible dream of a lunatic, and yet an entire political party is just chomping at the bit to do just that. They must be stopped!

On Crime:
Police have been turned into public enemies as crime spikes
Our first responders have been a lifeline to all of us for as long as any of us can remember, and yet, over the last couple of years, violent criminals have become victims and our police have been turned into public enemies. Crime statistics have
spiked, cities have been burned and thieves have openly emptied retail stores without consequences. We the People can stem this tide of insanity, but we have to do it now. For the sake of our children, we have no choice but to stand our ground.

On Education:
Time for administrators & teachers to know they work for us
Politics has no business in our schools, and yet absurd school decisions have been made recently that defy science, push racist agendas and think it's a great idea to teach little kids about all of the bizarre issues that
constitute sex in our world today. It's high time that school administrators and teachers understand they work for us.

On Education:
Schools have indoctrinated and sexualized our children
Thibodeau, who was [gubernatorial candidate Charles] Herbster's running mate before dropping her bid for lieutenant governor, said the controversial educational topics were one of the main reasons she entered the race this past week. "Our children
are being indoctrinated," she said. "They're learning divisiveness. They're being sexualized in our schools. And it has to stop."

On Immigration:
Illegal immigration bringing in crime, hurting public safety
Brett Lindstrom, an Omaha-area state senator, said there are more than 50,000 unfilled jobs in the state. He suggested a guest worker program for people who want to live and work in the
United States, along with other ways to bring workers to the state.
Theresa Thibodeau said state funds should not be used to "help any immigrants that have come to our state illegally." "Illegal
immigration is bringing in crime, and it's an issue and it's hurting our public safety," she said. "If we have immigrants that are
here legally, and they want to take advantage of learning our English language in doing those things, we should support that, but we need to make sure that they are here legally and they are following the same rules that everyday Nebraskans follow."

On Principles & Values:
Stand for American Way of Life and take our country back
I believe that hard work, character and commitment to our American Way of Life are the concepts that made us great--that made us exceptional as a nation. But political corruption has forced open our borders to create cheap labor that directly
undermines good wages. Our mainstream media cannot be trusted to tell the simple truth, and policy decisions are being made to benefit everyone in the world but the United States. It's time to stand for the American Way of Life and take our country back.

On Principles & Values:
Government there to serve citizens, not tell them what to do
[On role of state government]: "Government is there to serve under the watchful eye of the citizen and to serve the citizens--not to tell the citizens what to do," she said. "And I acknowledge that and will never forget my roots.
I have been brought up to know what got me to where I am now. It's hard work. It's dedication. It's teamwork. I will never think anybody ever owes me anything."

On Tax Reform:
Special interests, bureaucrats have blocked tax reform
Tax Reform is at the top of my agenda as it has been for every candidate for Governor for the past forty years. Why can't we get anything done? Because our state government is controlled by special interests and bureaucrats.
Why do I think I can get something done when everyone else has failed? I don't put up with the nonsense. I'm a mom and a small business owner. I have to make things happen every single day, or my kids and business suffer.
