Proudly Endorsed by Nebraskans
Local community leaders share why they trust Erin to lead.
Senator Megan Hunt
“I proudly endorse Dr. Erin Feichtinger to succeed me in the District 8 seat in the Nebraska Legislature. Erin brings deep policy experience, a proven record of advocacy for working families, and a clear commitment to building an inclusive economy where everyone can thrive. With her background crafting solutions on housing security, economic opportunity, and access to justice, Erin will be a strong, principled voice for our community in the Unicameral. Her leadership and dedication make her the right choice to carry forward the work I have done over the past eight years, and I am excited to see how she expands it with her own vision, expertise, and steady focus on improving people’s everyday lives.”
Douglas County Board Chairman Roger Garcia
“Supporting Dr. Erin Feichtinger for Legislature is an easy decision for me given her experience, passion for policy, and her approach to leadership. In government, I admire individuals who bring competence in governance and policymaking, show energy and creativity toward crafting solutions toward problems that are prevalent in our society, and understands the seriousness of an elected role while also being able to have some fun along the way. I know that she will be a collaborative partner with both community and local government, so I enthusiastically support Erin for Legislative District 8.”
Senator Ashlei Spivey
“Erin is bold, strategic, and an intentional leader. I have watched her for years as a policy advocate fighting to ensure working families and all communities can thrive. We need more people like her in Lincoln, and I look forward to working with her to build a stronger and brighter Nebraska together.”
OPS Board Member Bri Full
“I’m happy to endorse Erin because she has proven her ability to fight for the things we care about – affordable housing, the right to choose, strong public education, and so much more.”
Senator Dunixi Guereca
“Erin has been doing the work – long before her name was on a ballot. She’s been fighting for women, families, and folks who’ve been pushed to the margins. Erin’s the kind of person who doesn’t flinch when it gets hard – she leans in. That’s exactly the kind of voice we need in District 8, and I’m proud to stand with her.”
Senator John Cavanaugh, Candidate for CD2
“I have seen firsthand Erin’s dedication to this community and her mastery of the issues in the Legislature. We have worked together to pass bills protecting victims of domestic violence, providing food and rental assistance to those in need, securing lawyers for tenants in eviction court, and repealing the sales tax on diapers to help Nebraska families. Erin understands the Legislature and has been an incredible partner to my own efforts to support working families in the Legislature. I know she will be an extremely effective Senator.”
Senator Danielle Conrad
“I know firsthand Erin has the knowledge, passion, and experience to hit the ground running and to become a Day One leader in the Legislature who can deliver on issues important to working families and civil rights.”
OPPD Board Member Eric Williams
“As long as I have known her, Erin has been a dedicated and passionate community leader. I trust her understanding of complicated public policy challenges, and to always do what is in the best interest of people in our community. I look forward to her being a strong voice for our community in the Nebraska Legislature.”
Former Senator Tony Vargas
“I had the privilege of working with Erin on several legislative policy issues focused on supporting working families. Erin is not only an amazing public policy leader, she is also someone who will fight and never give up when there is a problem affecting Nebraskans. For the future of our state, it is critical we have Erin representing us in the Nebraska Legislature.”
Candidate for CD2 Denise Powell
“Erin’s combination of brains and heart is exactly the kind of leadership the people of our state need and deserve. I’ve witnessed her deep care and compassion for her neighbors time and time again: whether she’s advocating for those with unstable housing situations, or fighting for healthcare access for Nebraskans. It is a true honor to endorse someone who personifies the concept of public service.”
Senator Terrell McKinney
“I support Erin for the Legislature because she’s unapologetic about where she stands on the issues and has always been true to herself since the day I met her. Also, I think I might be slightly taller than her.”
Former State Senator Brenda Council
“Erin is a problem solver. She knows how to listen to and engage the communities impacted by legislation and find a solution. I know she puts in the work because I’ve seen her do it in the community and at the Capitol.”
Senator Machaela Cavanaugh
“I’m endorsing Dr. Erin Feichtinger for the Nebraska Legislature not just because she’s brilliant and effective – but because I know her heart. Erin shows up. She fights for people who are too often forgotten, and she does it with compassion, courage, and relentless determination.”
OPPD Board Member Craig Moody
“Erin relentlessly works to make our community better and will do an extraordinary job representing the people of District 8.”
Former Douglas County Commissioner Maureen Boyle
“Join me in supporting Erin Feichtinger for Nebraska Legislature in District 8. I’ve had the privilege of knowing Erin for over 25 years, and she is exactly the kind of leader we need right now. Erin is a happy warrior—smart, grounded, and relentless. She knows how to build strong, reasoned arguments, listen with respect, and negotiate with integrity. Her passion for advocacy isn’t just talk—it’s the driving force behind her tireless work for everyday people. I can’t wait to see Erin bring that energy and commitment to the legislature on our behalf.”
Senator Victor Rountree
“I am honored to endorse Erin for Legislature! She has a heart for the people of our state and an unwavering desire to see good legislation enacted that lifts the needs of all Nebraskans. Erin knows what issues are concerning to her constituents and seeks out the best ways to deliver the optimal results. During the last session, Erin was a key source of knowledge and information when I needed to bolster some of the bills I introduced or needed to know the impact of other bills being heard. She’s ready to hit the ground running and I’d be excited to work beside her in the Unicameral as we conduct the business of the people!”
