- "When elected I will work to protect Medicaid, Medicare & Social Security as we know it. My opponent and his cronies want to reduce and even eliminate these valuable benefits, making hard working folks whoâve been paying into this system for DECADES wait until theyâre over 70 years old to use it. While my opponent wants to weaponize these issues to divide voters, I promise to come together to find long-term solutions that fund these programs and protect the benefits that working Nebraskans are entitled to."

- "Mike Flood and his cronies are to blame for the under-resourced and understaffed immigration system that has led to the current crisis at our border; from a shortage of border patrol agents and immigration judges, to a lack of humanitarian resources for asylum seekers and refugees. The lack of compromise to pass a long-term budget bill to protect our borders sits squarely on the shoulders of my opponent and his colleagues. I will work diligently to pass a budget that provides the resources necessary to protect our borders. I also will listen to those working on these issues every day, and will not involve myself with the "smoke and mirrors" rhetoric designed to scare and distract from the real issues."
