Race for Nebraska Governor Officially Begins? w/ Lynne Walz

Former Nebraska State Senator Lynne Walls joins the show to discuss her newly formed exploratory committee and the statewide listening tour that could lead to a 2026 run for governor. Walls reflects on what she heard from voters across Nebraska, including concerns about education funding, property taxes, agriculture, health care, and the state’s looming budget deficit. She also talks about her background as an educator, her bipartisan leadership in the Legislature, and why she believes Nebraska needs to move away from division and toward opportunity, collaboration, and shared prosperity.
