Lindstrom’s Nebraska Doctrine Challenge | Lincoln News

Former Nebraska state senator Brett Lindstrom is officially running for governor, filing over 5,000 signatures to qualify on the nonpartisan ballot under his “Nebraska Doctrine” — a bold platform focused on slashing property taxes, making housing affordable near job hubs, boosting local food processing, and expanding rural broadband. He’s positioning himself as the candidate who’ll make Nebraska the best place to build a life — not by changing its identity, but by strengthening it. With a race heating up against incumbent GOP Governor Jim Pillen and former Democratic senator Lynne Walz — both trying to label him as either too conservative or too liberal — Lindstrom insists he’s not a spoiler but a necessary reset. Even third-party candidate Rick Beard seems to welcome his entry, hoping for fresh energy. With election officials now verifying signatures and a September 11 deadline looming, Lindstrom’s campaign could reshape the November ballot — if he qualifies, he’ll be the fourth gubernatorial contender. He argues Nebraska’s real problem isn’t just money — it’s leadership. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
