To Whom it May Concern,

I am a write-in candidate for Legislature in District 24 (York, Seward, Polk, and the western part of Butler counties). I am running on a wide platform, but one of the chief issues I care about is school choice. I plan to fight hard to oppose the crazy health standards and the indoctrination of students with Marxist ideologies.

Frankly, I believe parents know best what their children need in education. I want to bring real choice to Nebraskan parents in how they educate their kids. With that said, I’d like to give you a short list of 3 actionable steps I plan to take in the Nebraska Legislature for school choice and improving the schools in our state. 

1. I plan to write a bill giving parents control over whether money would go directly to a school board, a private school, or to funding homeschooling. Additionally, if a parent decided to not accept the funds, they would need only deny it. I think this could come in the form of a tax credit or payments sent directly to the school that parents choose. We would also in the same bill eliminate requirements for homeschooling (make Nebraska essentially “no notice”) and requirements for standardizing certain educational goals for private schools (Nebraska Revised Statute 79-1601 is the one that I think needs to be changed.)

 

1. Public schools should be reformed as well. Any additional curriculum standards would be patriotic, truthful, and honest education that is meant to better students in critical thinking, and is not simply indoctrination.

 

1. Another step for procuring and reframing how the taxes are collected and distributed will be to adopt substantial reforms to the tax structure such as the EPIC tax plan. (https://epicconsumptiontax.org/) This can reshape how the money flows. Instead of taxing parents and having their money sent to schools they won’t send their kids to, let’s leave that money in the parent’s hands to use as they see fit.

 
I would appreciate your help in making these goals a reality. So, if you live in my district, please take a look at my platform at www.joshuaramsey.org. Then, go vote in the primary election and support the school choice candidates in your own district. If you live in District 24 I would appreciate it if you would write- in “Joshua Ramsey” for Legislature on May 10th, 2022.
 
Thank you for your time and consideration,
