Scott Petersen (Republican)
Scott Petersen:
Scott Petersen:
I believe every human life has inherent value and should be protected. I do not support creating a constitutional right to abortion that would eliminate Nebraska’s pro-life protections or force taxpayers to fund abortion. Nebraska should continue to stand for life and support both mothers and children.
Scott Petersen:
Women and girls deserve fairness, safety, and equal opportunity. Allowing biological males to compete in girls’ sports or access women’s private spaces undermines those protections. I support clear, common-sense policies that preserve the integrity of women’s sports and privacy.
Scott Petersen:
Parents, not government, are the primary decision-makers in their children’s lives. I strongly support parental rights, including full transparency in curriculum and the ability for parents to guide their children’s education, especially on sensitive topics.
Scott Petersen:
Every child is different, and families deserve the freedom to choose the educational environment that best fits their needs. I support school choice policies that empower parents and improve outcomes while maintaining accountability and local control.
Scott Petersen:
Religious liberty is a foundational American principle. I support protecting the rights of individuals, families, and organizations to live and work according to their sincerely held beliefs without fear of government punishment or discrimination.
Scott Petersen:
I have concerns about the long-term impacts of recreational marijuana, particularly on public health, workplace safety, and youth. Nebraska should approach this issue cautiously and prioritize the well-being of our communities.
Scott Petersen:
I do not support expanding gambling to include statewide online sports betting. Expanding access increases the risk of addiction and financial harm to families. Any existing gambling should remain limited and carefully regulated.
