Lynne’s Commitment
to Nebraska
Putting People First with Common-Sense Leadership
Dear Neighbor,
Over the last year I have traveled the state listening to Nebraskans. I’ve visited over 20 communities, held countless town halls and round tables and what I heard validated what I was feeling — Nebraskans have more in common than the issues that divide us.
We are ready for leadership that will unite neighbors, not pit them against each other. We are ready for leadership that listens and respects us. We are ready for common-sense solutions to grow our economy and find meaningful tax relief for everyone, not just the wealthiest individuals and corporations.
I’m running for Governor because we have gotten off track. We’ve lost our focus on community and economic development to grow our state. Our farmers and ranchers are facing one of the worst financial situations we’ve seen in decades. And, in the last 4 years, we’ve gone from a $1.2 billion surplus to a $750 million deficit that continues to grow every month.
Today, I’m making a commitment to Nebraskans that I will stay focused on the issues that matter most in your everyday life. I will work tirelessly to better the lives of all Nebraskans. In this commitment, I’m proposing some of those ideas.
Over the next few weeks you’ll hear more ideas from me and my campaign. My commitment to you will never waver. Nebraskans deserve a Governor committed to fiscal responsibility, transparency, and accountability. Here is my commitment: my door will always be open and I will always put you first.
Best,
Unifying Nebraska
Lynne has met with thousands of Nebraskans and has been reminded that what unites us is
stronger than what divides us. Nebraska can and should be better than the divisive politics in Washington. Government only works for people when we can move past politics to find common-sense solutions together.
Hold unscripted town halls so that all Nebraskans have the ability to have their voice heard.
Hold office hours across the state to ensure my office is open and accessible to all Nebraskans to share ideas.
Appoint Republicans, Democrats, and Independents to key positions to ensure all voices in state government are heard by our administration.
Meet with all 49 senators to build a legislative plan focused on finding common sense solutions to our most pressing issues.
Bring industry leaders together to work together on a comprehensive 1-year, 5-year, and 10-year plan to grow Nebraska’s economy to work for all Nebraskans.
Day 1 Actions
Restore fiscal discipline, transparency, and accountability in the Governor’s office.
Declare that Nebraska is Open for Business Again!
Lynne will assemble working groups of industry and community leaders to craft a 10-year, comprehensive plan to grow our economy.
Sign a Proclamation declaring Nebraska as Agriculture and Livestock Friendly and develop an agricultural advisory council.
Call for the Legislature to immediately pass an emergency bill to restore the Veterans Aid Fund.
Sign an Executive Order immediately legalizing medical marijuana for consumption with a doctor’s prescription. Fire the commissioners and replace them if they can’t pass meaningful regulations in a timely manner that accurately reflect what Nebraskans voted for.
Reject any and all forms of school vouchers to follow the will of Nebraska voters.
Hire an independent auditor to investigate waste, fraud, and abuse of power by the state government. This will help guide Lynne’s approach to making government more effective and efficient and solving the Pillen Budget Crisis.
Preserve Nebraska Values
Work Ethic
FREEDOM
Government should be protecting our freedoms, not taking them away. Politicians should not control how you live your life or what you think. You know what is best for yourself, your children and your community better than the government. Any attempt to undermine your personal freedoms must be stopped.
COMMUNITY
HONESTY
In Nebraska, integrity and honesty are what really count and we deserve that from our
leaders. We need leaders who aren’t afraid to stand up to both Democrats and Republicans
to tell it like it is. There should be no backroom deals that benefit a few people while everyday Nebraskans are left in the dark.
