The Plan

The visionNebraska voted for.

The Secretary of State safeguards elections, protects records, serves businesses and upholds the Constitution. This is how Scott will lead the office.

01

Restore confidence in our elections

Transparent. Verifiable. Accountable.

Confidence in elections must be built through process, not promises. Scott will:

  • Ensure transparent, auditable election systems where every legal vote counts and only legal votes count
  • Strengthen chain-of-custody protections for ballots from start to finish
  • Expand post-election audits and public reporting
  • Support meaningful voter ID with citizenship verification
  • Ensure those who count votes are well-trained, supported and operating in full public view
  • Establish clear protections for poll challengers and observers at every stage

Nebraska elections should be simple, secure and beyond question.

02

Clean, accurate, Nebraska-controlled voter rolls

No duplicates. No confusion. No shortcuts.

Scott will modernize Nebraska’s voter registration system by:

  • Conducting regular audits to remove deceased, duplicate and outdated registrations
  • Strengthening verification so only eligible Nebraska voters are registered
  • Improving data-sharing where appropriate to prevent multi-state registrations
  • Keeping Nebraska’s voter systems governed by Nebraska, not outsourced, opaque systems

Accurate voter rolls are the foundation of election integrity.

03

Defend the Constitution and Nebraska sovereignty

Follow the law. Respect the limits. Protect the state.

The Secretary of State must operate with discipline and respect for constitutional authority. Scott will:

  • Uphold the Constitution as the highest law, without exception
  • Respect the separation of powers and statutory authority
  • Coordinate responsibly with the Governor and Legislature
  • Reject federal overreach and outside influence over Nebraska systems
  • Ensure every action of the office aligns with Nebraska law and legislative intent

Public trust is built when leaders follow the law, not stretch it.

04

Unprecedented transparency and public accountability

Government works for the people, not behind closed doors.

Scott will:

  • Increase public access to election data, records and processes
  • Create clear, user-friendly online dashboards for public information
  • Publish policies and procedures in plain language
  • Ensure strict separation between public duties and outside activities
  • Use taxpayer dollars responsibly and transparently

Transparency is not optional. It is the foundation of trust.

05

Modernize business and state services

The most business-friendly state in the Midwest.

Nebraska’s systems should be efficient, modern and easy to use. Scott will:

  • Fully modernize business filings, UCC systems and records access
  • Replace outdated, manual processes with streamlined digital services
  • Improve turnaround times and eliminate unnecessary bureaucracy
  • Upgrade the campaign finance system to be transparent, searchable and user-friendly
  • Expand online services so more can be done quickly and remotely
  • Launch the Nebraska Business First Initiative, with performance benchmarks for every division of the office

Government should help businesses grow, not slow them down.

06

Audit, accountability and a DOGE approach

Efficient, disciplined, accountable.

Scott will bring a DOGE-style mindset to the Secretary of State’s office:

  • Conduct a full, top-to-bottom audit of the office
  • Identify waste, inefficiencies and outdated systems
  • Eliminate unnecessary spending and duplication
  • Set performance standards and measurable outcomes
  • Make every taxpayer dollar count, with purpose and accountability

The office should run with the same discipline Nebraska families and businesses live by every day.

07

Promote Nebraska and support economic growth

Showcase Nebraska values. Expand opportunity.

Scott will:

  • Promote Nebraska agriculture, business and innovation
  • Support responsible trade and economic partnerships
  • Align the office’s efforts with Nebraska priorities and leadership
  • Focus on outcomes that benefit Nebraska workers, families and communities

Economic leadership should be coordinated, strategic and accountable.

08

Civic education and citizen engagement

An informed citizenry is the foundation of a strong republic.

Scott will:

  • Support civic education and constitutional literacy
  • Encourage citizen involvement in elections and government
  • Promote understanding of rights, responsibilities and the rule of law

Government works best when the people are engaged, informed and empowered.
