"The best way to predict the future is to create it"

Since 2018, Lisa has served on the NASB Legislative Committee, advocating for Grand Island Public Schools locally and nationally. She led efforts to repeal LB 753 and LB 1402 to protect public education funds and collaborated with State Senators to pass LB 881, protecting students from sexual predators, and to regulate vaping. Lisa also helped pass LB 1050, securing funding for free period products in public schools, including a pilot program at Grand Island Senior High. Her advocacy includes testifying and lobbying for various public school funding initiatives, always aiming to protect taxpayers and ensure students are college and career ready.

A commitment to public schools is fundamental for fostering equitable access to education, ensuring that every child, regardless of background, has the opportunity to learn and thrive. By investing in public schools, we invest in the future of our communities, nurturing a knowledgeable and engaged community.
