Rebekah Davis for Congress

Agriculture

Davis believes in the value and need for a strong, vibrant and profitable family farmer and rancher based agriculture that drives our rural economy.  She believes in the need for fair and competitive markets and strong enforcement of anti-trust legislation.  Davis supports building new, profitable, agriculture based renewable energy markets that grow the rural economy, keeps farms and ranchers in business and brings our kids back to our rural communities.

Budget

Davis is a fiscal conservative who promotes a balanced federal budget and common sense pay-as-you-go rules.

Economic Development

Davis understands that strong and diversified production based agriculture is the key to building sustainable rural economic development.  Accessible and affordable broadband is also vital to relocating small businesses and rural entrepreneurs into our communities.  Davis believes that small business and small manufacturing are necessary to business development in rural communities.  She agrees that any farm legislation needs to enhance and cost-share rural infrastructure for our communities to expand economic development, quality of life and basic services.

Education

Energy and Oil

Davis recognizes the vast potential of transforming Nebraska into an energy exporter.

Environment

Davis understands that sound environmental policies begins with sound resource management of our soil and water resources.  Conservation is best achieved by education, economic incentives and voluntary landowner participation.

Foreign Policy

Davis values the role our country plays as a moral authority and superpower. From her time abroad in over sixty countries, Davis sees international collaboration as a cornerstone of effective domestic defense.  In a world of uncertainty, strengthening ties with allies while maintaining autonomy is pivotal.

Health Care

Davis supports current efforts to bring affordable coverage to middle class Americans. She is open to a government-sponsored public option or cooperative that would compete with the private sector without undermining it.

Sportsman’s Rights

Taxes

Trade
