OMAHA- GOP Primary winner Jim Pillen discussed what his campaign calls "The Pillen Playbook" as he heads into a governor's race that he is heavily favored in.

He aims to leverage private dollars to offset the costs of post-high school education and training for Nebraska kids. He wants kids to sign on to stay in Nebraska and work a set number of years after graduation in exchange for a paid-for education.

His thought: Farmers, ranchers and businesses could sponsor kids at the local community college and have them work while there.

His next topic in the playbook is housing. Pillen said he would work with developers, mayors and county commissioners in all 93 counties to address housing shortages.

Nebraska, he said, should worry about luring new companies until it can produce and house the workers its own businesses need.

On K-12 education, Pillen said Nebraska needs to stop resisting school choice and introduce more competition into the system. He did not specify a preference for tax credits, vouchers or charter schools.

On the agriculture side, Pillen said he would prioritize protecting Nebraska’s water supplies in its dispute with Colorado over the Perkins County Canal and flows in the South Platte River.

The remainder of "The Pillen Playbook" touches on abortion, prison reform, gun rights, and infrastructure.
