From family farms and ranches to ethanol plants, feedyards, processors, cooperatives and small-town businesses, agriculture drives Nebraska’s economy and sustains our rural communities. As Secretary of State, Scott will focus on how the office can support it: efficient government, transparent regulations, strong property rights, secure elections and expanded economic opportunity.
01
Make government work for farmers and ranchers
Nebraska producers shouldn’t have to fight government paperwork while they’re running a business.
Scott will:
- Modernize business filings and registrations
- Reduce delays and unnecessary bureaucracy
- Improve online services for rural users
- Streamline processes for family farms, ranches, LLCs, partnerships and agricultural businesses
- Hold agriculture stakeholder listening sessions to find opportunities for improvement
Government should be a partner, not an obstacle.
02
Protect property rights and rural Nebraska
Property rights are foundational to Nebraska agriculture.
As Secretary of State, Scott will be a strong voice for:
- Constitutional protections for private property
- Transparent government decision-making
- Public accountability
- Respect for Nebraska landowners and producers
Stewardship begins with ownership.
03
Transparency and regulatory accountability
Producers should not need a lawyer to understand how regulations affect their operation.
As custodian of Nebraska’s administrative rules and regulations process, Scott will work to:
- Improve public access to agency regulations
- Increase transparency about proposed rule changes
- Modernize public access tools
- Make regulations easy to search and understand
04
Expand opportunities for Nebraska agriculture
Nebraska produces some of the finest agricultural products in the world.
As Nebraska’s chief protocol officer and international goodwill ambassador, Scott will support efforts to:
- Promote Nebraska agriculture abroad
- Encourage international trade relationships
- Welcome agricultural trade delegations
- Highlight Nebraska’s leadership in beef, corn, soybeans, pork, ethanol and value-added agriculture
When Nebraska agriculture succeeds, Nebraska succeeds.
05
Ensure rural voices are heard
Rural Nebraska matters.
As Secretary of State, Scott will:
- Maintain secure and accessible elections
- Support voter education in rural communities
- Engage directly with county officials across Nebraska
- Ensure every county receives the attention and service it deserves
Government should not be concentrated in Lincoln or Omaha. It should work for every community in every county.
