The Race for District 3
Hello to one and all, and Welcome!
I am using this Blog to share with you where I stand on issues affecting Nebraskans. I look forward to meeting with you and talking about your ideas and concerns. I invite you all to check in now and again as I share my experiences on the campaign trail.

This past weekend was full of events from Gretna to Bellevue. I was able to take in two great firework shows, eat BBQ for most meals, participate in the Gretna Parade, and more importantly meet many wonderful people in district 3. I look forward to meeting and speaking with as many of you as I can as the the campaign rolls on to the General Election November 4th.

My Platform
As your representative in the State Legislature I will bring my proven work ethic, and common sense to Lincoln. I am willing to listen, and to work to understand the issues at hand.
I believe the strength of our state is in its people. I believe that good government should guarantee to its individuals equality before the law
I believe that government should promote the health, welfare, and safety of the individual and that government’s proper function is to do only those things which individuals cannot do for themselves.
My parents, teachers, and coaches instilled the desire to work hard and take pride in a job well done. 20 years service in the United States Air Force further solidified the importance of dedication and devotion to something larger than myself.
I am a conservative and believe in the importance of individual rights and of limited government.
With these principles, I believe I am the candidate for people who desire a positive and responsive government at the state level.
I thought I would take a moment to pass along to you a bit of the behind the scene impact Senator
Kopplin has on legislation. Senator
Kopplin is a member of the Reference Committee, where proposed legislation is determined to what committee it will be sent to for further review and work. The impact of this committee is tremendous as they
wield considerable influence on whether a proposed bill either
survives or dies in committee. Send it to a committee which is friendly and it survives, or send it
elsewhere to die.

By the looks of the proposal it looks as if he's seeking to change all of the rules! Not only would it be bad for Sarpy County due to the county line barrier being revoked, but a new bill would conceivably remove the protected status of towns like Bellevue (with a population of 48,000, well over the 10,000 magic number). Sen. Kopplin's own town of Gretna is definitely in danger! I hope this fact isn't lost on the town of less than 6,000!
