<h2>MEET NATE</h2>

<p>Born and raised in Omaha, Nate Ostdiek attended Westside High School and chose to build his future here, where he attended the University of Nebraska-Omaha and earned his bachelor's degree in political science. He is currently <strong>deepening his expertise</strong> as a graduate student in the History and Government master's Program, while working as a Graduate Assistant in UNO's Political Science Department.</p><p>Nate built his academic career conducting research into <strong>pressing national security </strong>issues, including nuclear deterrence, environmental security, and wargame design. He has worked on projects for the Department of Defense, the National Strategic Research Institute, and NATO. These experiences connect deeply with Nebraska and underscore our state’s importance to our national security. While working on these big-picture problems, Nate has been committed to helping here at home. He has managed several community gardens around Omaha, ensuring his peers could get fresh produce on the table as grocery prices skyrocketed, and is civically engaged on a broad range of issues.</p><p>Nate moves beyond studying policy to put it into practice. He has experience in legislative advocacy on issues that move our state forward: increasing access to transportation, funding our education system, and keeping young people in Nebraska. Nate has a proven track record of fostering community partnerships that deliver real results. Notably, Nate negotiated and implemented a partnership between Heartland Bike Share and UNO to provide affordable access to transportation without raising student fees. Balancing budget priorities with affordability to <strong>cut costs and expand services </strong>while opposing divisive, politically motivated attacks on jobs and programs. He understands how important access is and just how debilitating the cost of bureaucracy can be.&nbsp;</p><p>For the past several years, corporate and billionaire interests have infiltrated our Nebraska Legislature while the needs of ordinary Nebraskans are left behind. Nate knows that when the wealthiest corporations pay their fair share, we can fix our deficit and have an economy that works for us. Where ordinary Nebraskans can see actual property tax relief, have good jobs and wages, and feel confident in raising a family. But the work in these areas is far from done, and that is why Nate decided to deepen his commitment to this fight by running for the legislature. Nate recognizes that <strong>unless our elected officials are put under pressure</strong>, the government will continue to drag its feet and not serve the people. We need a State Senator who can bring an agenda to move our state forward and grow, while bringing more working Nebraskans to the table.&nbsp;</p><p>Nate is ready to serve his neighbors in District 6 and any Nebraskan who feels left behind by politics. He believes that<strong> all people deserve a life of dignity</strong> and that, together, we have what it takes to make it happen.</p><p><br></p>

Write a short blurb about an issue your campaign is highlighting. Try to keep the text a similar size between the various issue blurbs.

<p>9/10 children in Nebraska attend a public school. Ensuring they are defending is the cornerstone of our future. Too many educators are stuck wearing multiple hats. Instead of massive giveaways for the ultrawealthy, we should be incentivizing an end to the teacher shortage, which will help ensure that ALL Nebraska children can access the educational resources <span style="color: var(--color-text); text-decoration-color: var(--color-text);">they need.</span></p>

<h2>Invest in Our Educators</h2>

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.

<h4>Community Canvass</h4>

<p>Knock doors for Nate! Canvassers will knock in pairs. All training given on site. </p>

Community Canvass

<p>Consitutional rights to free speech, voting, due process, and more have been under assault by authoritarian governance. I vow to defend your rights in the legislature and trample on no one's individuality. Free speech is a cornerstone of our country and must be fought for.</p>

<h2>Defend Constitutional Rights</h2>

<p>Water in many towns has become nearly undrinkable as pollution from livestock runoff has collided with contaminated groundwater. Proper management of our natural resources will be necessary to pass on a bountiful life for the people who come after us. I will support the realistic water consumption standards set by NRD and seek greater protection for water and air sustainability.</p>

<p>Current policy has stacked property taxes against ordinary people in favor large agribussinesses. While valuations have risen, ordinary Nebraskans are struggling to afford to stay in their homes. I will fight to correct this so that <span style="color: var(--color-text); text-decoration-color: var(--color-text);"><strong style="color: var(--color-text); text-decoration-color: var(--color-text);">YOU </strong></span>can afford to live the Good Life. Nebraska spends millions on property tax relief, lets make sure that ordinary people see it instead of just the well connected.</p>

<h2>Fair Property Taxes</h2>

<h4>Volunteer Night</h4>

<p>Volunteers will write postcards, make phone calls, and explore other ways to get involved with the campaign.</p><p>This is an informal event, so come as you are! Folks can stay the whole time or come to pick up/drop off postcard writing materials.</p><p>Although parking is available, we encourage people to use public transportation, such as ORBT and Bike Share.</p>

Volunteer Night

<p>Rising expenses are the number one issue facing Nebraskans. Rent, property taxes, and groceries are too expensive. The legislature needs to make this its <span style="color: var(--color-text); text-decoration-color: var(--color-text);"><strong style="color: var(--color-text); text-decoration-color: var(--color-text);">#1 priority.</strong></span> Banning price gouging, building more affordable housing, and cracking down on Wall Street firms buying up Nebraska homes should just be the start.</p>

<h2>An Affordable Nebraska</h2>

<p>Large electricity consumers, such as data centers, have driven up electricity bills, leaving Nebraskan families facing thousands of dollars in increases over the next decade. I will fight to <span style="color: var(--color-text); text-decoration-color: var(--color-text);"><strong style="color: var(--color-text); text-decoration-color: var(--color-text);">freeze residential rates</strong></span>, ensure data centers are regulated, pay their fair share, and put Nebraska families first. Nebraska has some of the most affordable energy in the country. Let's keep it that way.</p>

<h2>Freeze Electricity Rates</h2>

<p>As a young person, nearly all of my friends are either considering leaving the state or have left. By serving as a voice for young people in the legislature, I will do everything in my power to not only keep younger people but also attract them. Looking at "Brain Gain" incentives is a promising way to help Nebraska reach its fullest potential.</p>

<h2>Combat Brain Drain</h2>

<p>Additional resources to construct housing, fund rehabilitation, and combat addiction are necessary to make sure every Nebraskan has a place to stay, and our streets are safe and beautiful. Nobody in this state should be without a home they can afford. Housing should be more than just a commodity; it should be a right so everyone can have some stability.</p>

<h2>End Homelessness</h2>

<p>I commit wholeheartedly to listening to my district and what concerns them. No matter what, if you want to have a conversation, lets talk. I will do everything I can to be your champion in the legislature and advance bills that will benefit my constituents and their families. Constituent hours and casework will be a corepart of my office.</p>

<h2>Listening to the People</h2>

<p>It's high time we reconnected our state by rail. From Omaha to Lincoln, and to the panhandle, high speed rail is an opportunity set Nebraska as a leader. Not to mention, with high-speed rail in,<span style="color: var(--color-text); text-decoration-color: var(--color-text);"><strong style="color: var(--color-text); text-decoration-color: var(--color-text);"> game day would change forever.</strong> </span>The first step is clearing bureaucratic hurdles like updating the state rail plan to access federal transportation funds. From there, planning and projects become possible.</p>

<h2>High-Speed Passenger Rail</h2>

<p>People deserve not to have their personal medical decisions, like abortion, interfered with by the government. It is a simple concept, yet one that must be upheld. Your health is your decision, and people should be empowered to make decisions about their own bodies as a matter of principle.</p>

<h2>The Right to Choose</h2>

<h4>Valentine Making Party</h4>

<p>Join local Democratic candidates Nate Ostdiek, Whitney Hansen, Josh Livingston, and Flint Harkness to make valentines for Minnesota students. Postcard supplies courtesy of Strongly Worded Omaha will be available to write letters to your representatives. </p>

Valentine Making Party

<p>Omaha has among the most expensive childcare in the country. All Nebraska families deserve access to daycare, and by utilizing existing public infrastructure, we can ensure support for the young professionals and working families who make up our state's backbone. The best way to have families stay in Nebraska is to make it affordable.</p>

<h2>No Cost Childcare</h2>

<h4>Meet &amp; Greet with Nate</h4>

<p>Meet Nate, along with other Democratic candidates running for Legislature, County Commission, and MCC Board of Governors. Light appetizers will be served. </p>

Meet and Greet

<p>I believe that immigrants are an essential component of our communities and wholeheartedly oppose their civil, legal, and labor rights being violated by the state of Nebraska, Big Agriculture, and ICE. An ICE camp has no place in Nebraska. As long as the McCook ICE Center remains open, I will commit to monthly inspections of the facility. </p>

<h2>Protect the Rights of All People</h2>

<p>Whether it's ignoring the will of voters, crony contracting, or corporations taking unfair advantage of tax credits programs, we need stronger, more transparent processes to keep the Executive Branch in check and campaign finance reform to ensure our elections are representative of the people.</p>

<h2>End Corruption</h2>
