Rick Beard on Corporations

 

 


Get corporate money & PAC money out of our politics

Beard said his third-party run is about more than cannabis legislation. "I realized that so many other things could be tied to cannabis and could be tied to the money," Beard said in a September interview with Nebraska Public Media News. "The campaign shifted gears from actually running cannabis as the forefront of it to actually getting money out of our politics--getting PAC money, getting special interests and corporate money out of our politics, because that looks like it's what's holding the whole program up."

As a third-party candidate, Beard says his independence from traditional party funding hints at how he would lead Nebraska. "I'm going to work for Nebraskans and not for corporate donations or PAC donations or requirements of large corporations that funded me," he said.
