Focused on
Nebraska's Future.
Join Team Walz
Lynne Walz: Teacher,
Mom and Faith Leader.
Lynne Walz is a lifelong Nebraskan, former teacher, and bipartisan problem-solver who’s running for Governor to bring common sense, compassion, and integrity back to Nebraska’s leadership.
A Different Kind of
Leader for Nebraska.
Lynne believes in working together to grow our economy, strengthen schools, and create better futures for our kids.
Unifying Nebraska
The things that bring us together are far stronger than what divides us. I believe in freedom, hard work, and personal responsibility. I want a better life for our families. I want low taxes, strong schools, and a bustling economy where we have opportunities to get ahead. I cannot let political elites and large tech and media companies continue to divide us. Nebraska can once again rise above the dysfunction. I am a leader with a track record of putting parties aside to get results.
Respecting the Will of the Voters
Nebraskans have had their voices heard on key issues, like medical marijuana, paid sick leave, minimum wage, school vouchers, and more. When the voters speak, our job as representatives is to listen. Unfortunately, our current leadership believes their personal stances on specific issues supersedes Nebraskans. That’s wrong and disqualifying.
Honesty & Transparency in Government
Nebraskans deserve honest leaders who will tell people what they need to know, not just what they want to hear. I will fight for an honest, transparent government. It’s time to provide full transparency to Nebraskans and stop corruptive behaviors.
Grow Nebraska
Nebraska has so much potential. We are in the center of the country and can be a hub for transportation, manufacturing, and so much more. I will provide tools to grow and support businesses and attract new businesses to our state. I will grow our rural communities by investing in broadband, agriculture, and small businesses on Main Street. I will create an environment that keeps our young people and families here.
Addressing Affordability
Nebraskans work hard for a living and should be able to afford to take care of their families. The essentials like housing, childcare, healthcare, and groceries are too expensive. I will work with state and national leaders to address our affordability crisis.
A Fair Tax System
Property taxes and taxes in general are too high. I will responsibly look at ways to cut taxes while ensuring vital services remain strong and that we can balance our budget. That relief needs to be more targeted so it helps the working families, not just the state’s top earners. I have a proven track record of producing bipartisan plans to help all Nebraskans.
Protecting Freedom
The government should be protecting our freedoms, not taking them away. I believe that our elected leaders should not be telling people how to live their lives, raise their children, or take care of their own health and well-being. My focus won’t be on policing our personal lives: instead, it’ll be to grow Nebraska’s economy.
Building Strong Communities
I will ensure that Nebraska is a place where our children will want to live when they grow up. In addition to creating economic opportunities, we need to ensure our communities are thriving so families want to live here. We need strong schools, vibrant community spaces, strong main streets, and continued investments for police officers and firefighters to keep us safe.

Thank you, Blair! Nights like this are the best part of this job. Great turnout at the Depot tonight and a lot of honest conversation about what Nebraskans are facing right now - and the kind of leadership it's going to take to change it.
Forty days to go. Let's finish strong!

40 days out, and we're not slowing down.
Ben and I are talking to voters across Nebraska, from Valentine to Hastings and Scottsbluff to Lincoln - and it's worth every mile. Let's get it done!

Nebraskans are paying more to get married, put gas in their cars, and file a case in court — all to cover a budget hole Jim Pillen dug himself.
As Governor, I'll stop balancing the books on the backs of working families.
Nebraskans are paying higher fees to offset the state’s budget woes

A parent who can't find childcare can't go to work. That's not a family problem - it's an economic one.
Jim Pillen has had four years to treat it like one. As Governor, I'll bring the people who can actually fix it to the same table.
Great day out in Nebraska City yesterday! We marched in the parade and stopped by the Free Speech Society meeting to talk with folks about the issues that matter most. Nebraska values still run strong here.
Nebraska's budget disaster wasn't caused by a recession — it was caused by Governor Pillen's careless decisions.
As @johnstinner notes, Pillen bet the budget on a one-time surplus to fund tax cuts he knew weren't sustainable. Now Nebraska families are paying for it in cut
I spent years caring for Nebraskans with developmental disabilities, and I've sat with families who rely on those services.
So it's unacceptable that under Governor Pillen, nearly a thousand families had their funding cut by a new assessment.
'They feel abandoned': Advocates for people with disabilities ask the state to do more
Nebraskans are advocating for the state to better serve people with disabilities and their families across the state.

As Governor, I'll protect the services families depend on instead of cutting them, and I'll make sure Nebraska's government answers to the people it serves.
Great to be in Humboldt today for the Richardson County Fair Parade -- and even better to spend some time in my running mate Ben Steffen’s hometown!
Thanks to everyone who came out and welcomed us. There’s nothing like a Nebraska small-town parade. 🇺🇸
🚨BREAKING🚨 A new poll shows us within the margin of error of Gov. Jim Pillen! Nebraskans are ready for a change and we can win this race.
It doesn't matter if you are a Republican, Democrat, or Independent. We need to put people first, focus on our budget, and ensure the laws Nebraskans voted for take effect.

Jim Pillen holds everyone else to standards he won't keep himself. I am not shocked. If you are ready for something different, please support today.

Four years of Jim Pillen has taught us one thing: what he says and what he does are two different things. His farm and personal business are just the latest proof.

He's made a career holding other people to standards he won't keep himself. The people paying the price are always the same – workers, families, the folks who can't write a campaign check.
Nebraska deserves better.

Proud wife, mother, grandmother, and Nebraskan. Running to be Nebraska’s next Governor.
40 days out, and we`re not slowing down.
Ben and I are talking to voters across Nebraska, from Valentine to Hastings and Scottsbluff to Lincoln - and it`s worth every mile. Let`s get it done!
Washington County, I`m headed your way! I`ll be at Blair Deport at Lion`s Park tonight at 5:30 for a meet-and-greet and listening session.
Come say hello, and bring a neighbor! I can`t wait to hear what`s on your mind.
My running mate Ben Steffen is making his way across rural Nebraska, sitting down with the people who keep this state running.
He`s hearing that Nebraskans are tired of being talked at instead of listened to, and tired of finding out about decisions after they`re made. Ben and I will govern openly and honestly - because that`s the only way it works.
We had a great weekend out on the campaign trail! We marched in the Applejack Festival Parade in Nebraska City and stopped by the Free Speech Society meeting to talk with folks about the issues that matter most. Nebraska values are running strong and taking us through Election Day!
Washington County - let`s meet! Join me on Thursday, September 24 at 5:30pm at the Blair Deport for a meet-and-greet. Bring your neighbors, bring your questions. See you there!
Great to be in Humboldt today for the Richardson County Fair Parade -- and even better to be in my running mate Ben Steffen`s hometown!
Thank you to everyone who came out and welcomed us. There`s nothing like a Nebraska small-town parade.
