On Free Trade: Foreign trade important to Nebraska

While expressing concern about President Donald Trump's position on trade--the president said he "probably" will withdraw the United States from the North American Free Trade Agreement--Raybould praised Republican Gov. Pete Ricketts for traveling to Canada to reinforce his commitment to NAFTA. "I would like to see the governor travel down to Mexico next and make the same assurances," she said.

On Immigration: Supports letting "DACA" youths stay

Raybould expressed support for continued protections for the so-called DACA youths who were brought to the United States as babies or young children when their parents or other adults entered the country illegally. "These children have grown up in our state," Raybould said. "We have made a tremendous investment in them. We want them here. They are Nebraskans and they are an educated and valuable part of our future."

On Tax Reform: Don't shift tax burden onto poor

As Congress begins to pivot toward tax reform, Raybould said, it will be important to make sure that "those who are the wealthiest pay their fair share (and) that we never ever move the tax burden onto the backs of low-income Americans."
