Our family also has a tradition in education. A great-uncle was a professor at Chadron State in Nebraska, and has a dorm named after him. My mother began teaching in country schools and finished her career as a librarian at Gibbon. Last, but not least, my four daughters have received, or will soon attain, their college degrees.
One should not focus on candidate personalities, but instead, on how we differ in our support for education. I believe it was wrong to cut education in favor of protecting the elite from paying their fair share. In contrast, my opponent believes party directives are more important than representing the best interest for our area.
If this election is to be decided on the issues, we will come out on top every time. Our opposition has ideas that may sound good but we can not govern on soundbites.
Education is important and wholesale cuts are not in the our best interests. Infrastructure improvements are needed. The tax structure has been twisted and tweeked to the point it is unfair to the middle class and favors the elite.
