Cindy’s Vision

Cindy, a registered Independent, believes Nebraska is best served when communities and people are centered. Rather than following party politics, Cindy is dedicated to action that strengthens our state and allows families to thrive.

So much discussion in our society focuses on Red vs. Blue, Rural vs. Urban, Republican vs. Democrat, Conservative vs. Progressive. Cindy will work to rise above these divides and strive for loftier goals that reflect true Nebraskan values.

She understands we are not as divided as we appear and asks each of us to remember to love our neighbors. Cindy prioritizes diversity, equity, and inclusion and knows that Nebraskans of good conscience come together to overcome difficulties and that our Legislation must reflect these ideals.

“There are marriages like mine where I am an Independent voter, and my husband is registered as a Republican. Many of us may live in Omaha, but were raised on the farm or have family in smaller towns. Many Nebraskans in small towns or the western part of the state have children going to school in Lincoln or moving to the larger cities to raise their families. We are all connected.

Friendship, hard-work, stewardship of our land, education, healthy families – These are the things that we all have in common and reflect the priorities we need solutions for.”
