  • For too long, we’ve punished people simply for owning a home. As valuations skyrocket, property taxes rise with them. My opponent, a school board member, says she cut the levy rate seven times - but she knew you'd still be paying more because of the valuation increases. Since 2020, the average Papillion La Vista homeowner has seen their property taxes go up 35 to 45 percent. That’s not a tax cut; THAT IS A BIG TAX INCREASE. It’s time to confront our property tax problem head-on and stop taxing

  • “When I became Fire Chief, I transitioned from serving as a union firefighter/paramedic to taking on a city management role. I was responsible for delivering high-quality fire and emergency medical services to our community while also ensuring the safety and well-being of our firefighters. My administrative responsibilities included managing contracts and budgets and exercising sound fiscal stewardship on behalf of taxpayers. At times, balancing those responsibilities created friction with union

  • Papillion and La Vista voters know and trust Auditor Mike Foley. No one has done more to protect taxpayers, and throughout his years of service he has led the fight against government waste, fraud, and abuse. Auditor Foley has served Nebraskans as a state senator, lieutenant governor, and state auditor. He is a selfless public servant, and I am honored to have his endorsement and support. - Bill Bowes “In the race for Legislature in District 14, Bill Bowes is the candidate voters can trust to h

  • To me it is simple common sense. Boys should not be allowed to compete in girls sporting events. In Papillion and La Vista, we take a lot of pride in our lady athletes. They have accomplished incredible things. We must make sure that they do not have these opportunities stolen from them as we have seen happening across the country. They worked hard to earn positions on teams, scholarships, sponsorships, and championships. I will fight to protect these opportunities. I have signed the Fairness

  • We need to stop punishing people for owning a home. After speaking with homeowners across the district, it’s clear that the biggest problem is taxing unrealized gains created by dramatic increases in property values. We’re paying more, and too many families are struggling to make ends meet. Some are even leaving. Most politicians don’t seem to care. My opponent serves on the school board and claims she cut the tax levy seven times. But our taxes still went up because the levy wasn’t reduced en

  • I am grateful beyond words. Thank you, District 14, for advancing our campaign to the general election. I’m humbled by your trust and energized for the road ahead. Thank you to my wife Julie, my family, our friends, and those who have supported me on this journey. I also want to thank Jay Jackson for for his passion and commitment to our community. Thank you for your service to our country and for all of the hard work you put in over the last year of campaigning. You helped push me to being a b
