Campaign websiteSchultz's campaign website stated the following:Defend the Second AmendmentUnapologeticallyDebb is a rock-solid supporter of our God-given right to keep and bear arms. She will never vote for any gun-control measure that infringes on the rights of law-abiding Nebraskans. "The Second Amendment is not negotiable. Criminals don’t follow laws — good people need the ability to protect themselves, their families, and their property. In Congress, I will fight every single day against Washington elites who want to disarm you while they live behind armed security."Mental Health AdvocacyReal SolutionsMental health is a crisis in rural Nebraska and across America. Too many families are suffering in silence, veterans are struggling, and our communities lack the resources they need. Debb will make mental health a priority by fighting for increased funding for treatment centers, telehealth services in rural areas, and programs that actually work. "We owe it to our kids, our veterans, and our neighbors to treat mental health with the same seriousness we treat physical health."Reform the Postal ServiceEfficiency & ReliabilityThe United States Postal Service is broken. Rural routes suffer, service is unreliable, costs rise, and taxpayers foot the bill. Debb will push for real structural reform — modernizing operations, cutting waste, protecting Saturday delivery for rural America, and making sure the USPS works for the people, not union bureaucrats in Washington. "Our farmers, small businesses, and seniors depend on the mail. It’s time to fix it once and for all."End Daylight Saving TimeStop the MadnessEnough is enough with the twice-a-year clock changes that mess with our sleep, our health, our kids’ school schedules, and our farmers’ routines. Debb supports legislation to permanently end Daylight Saving Time and keep Nebraska on standard time year-round. "This isn’t a left-or-right issue — it’s common sense. Science shows the switch hurts our health and productivity. Nebraska deserves to stop pretending it’s still 1970s energy policy."— Debb Axtell Schultz's campaign website (April 29, 2026)Note: This text is quoted verbatim from the original source.
