In America, elections are about choices. Choices have consequences. A president’s policies and priorities shape our economy, our freedoms, and our standing in the world. We saw it in 2016 when voters chose Donald Trump. His policies built a strong economy that included lower taxes and energy independence. He also brought strength and security at home and abroad. We saw the consequences of our elections again in 2020. Joe Biden and Kamala Harris have brought stubbornly high costs of living and higher taxes. Under Biden-Harris, we’ve also seen an open border and appeasement to adversaries. The implications of our choices in the coming election will impact America for generations to come.

The news cycle may have moved on as inflation cooled, but the high cost of living it brought is still the most pervasive problem affecting Nebraska’s families today. Whether it’s single parents forced to leave items out of the grocery cart, seniors struggling to pay rising rents on fixed incomes, or small business owners trying to balance higher energy costs, Nebraskans can’t live the lives they’ve planned as long as prices remain high and salaries don’t keep up.
