Neighbor by neighbor

[link removed] Friend, When we first launched this campaign, we knew that real leadership had to be built from the ground up, neighbor by neighbor. My roots are right here in the Nebraska soil, from feeding hogs before dawn on our family farm near Fontanelle to working as a classroom teacher, dayc…

Quick favor?

[link removed] Team,  I am writing this from the road because things are moving fast. Dark money Republicans and out-of-state billionaires like the Koch brothers are already organizing to buy this election and protect Pillen’s status quo. We do not have a network of billionaires funding our work.…

Jim Pillen’s war on public schools

[link removed] Friend, In 2024, Nebraska voters did something historic. People from every political background came together, went to the polls, and decisively voted to stop your tax dollars from funding private school vouchers. It was a clear, undeniable directive from the people who actually pay…

A record of winning in tough places
