SARPY COUNTY- One of Nebraska's updated Legislative Districts covers Sarpy County, from Papillion to Gretna.

"We're in the fastest growing district within this state," Lauritsen said. "We are going to be right back here redistricting in another 10 years."

"So, there's lots of questions about what drives your property taxes, and what actions we could take to try and get them reduced," Holdcroft said.

Both say they lost their respective 2020 races by a little more than a hundred votes. Holdcroft ran for the legislature, and Lauritsen ran for Gretna mayor.

Holdcroft's priority is lowering taxes, from income to property.

"I'd like to form up some partnerships with the local political entities who set the budgets and set the levies and impose and collect the property tax," Holdcroft said.

Lauritsen's priority is supporting families. She says that means providing quality education, lowering property taxes, and taking care of military families.

"Understanding the struggles of long deployments and hoping and wishing there was better pay for our military members is always something I will always be a huge advocate for," Lauritsen said.

On the issue of abortion, Holdcroft is in support of bringing abortion laws to the legislature. On the other hand, Lauritsen opposes bans that don't allow exceptions for incest, rape, or the life of the mother.
