Peter Ricketts in Survey of 2024 Senate campaign websites

On Education: Scrap radically inappropriate sex education topics

Governor Ricketts called on the Nebraska Department of Education to scrap their proposed sex education topics that are included in their draft health standards and worked with concerned parents to stop the radically inappropriate content from being pushed into schools. The new standards would have taught young children age-inappropriate content starting in kindergarten, but also inject non-scientific, political ideas into curriculum standards.

On Environment: Biden's conservation goals would devastate state's economy

Ricketts led 15 Governors to push back on Biden's goal "of conserving at least 30% of our lands and waters by 2030." The order parrots the policy goals of radical environmental groups. In Nebraska, 97% of our land is privately owned. Getting to 30% would require a major federal intervention. Setting aside that much land and water for conservation would also devastate food production, our rural communities, and our state’s overall economy.

On Principles & Values: We remain the cornerstone of global peace and prosperity

That's why they send their very best students to study and train here. It's why nearly every major innovation and breakthrough comes from America. It's why so many seek out better lives in America. Through our strength, we remain the cornerstone of global peace and prosperity." Source: 2024 Nebraska Senate campaign website Ricketts.Senate.gov Apr 17, 2023
