Arts Vote 2026: Voter's Guide

The Nebraska Arts Action Fund's 2026 State and Federal Candidate Survey is designed to help educate Nebraska voters about the candidates seeking state and federal office before Election Day. As a nonpartisan voter education resource, the survey provides candidates with an opportunity to share their views on issues affecting arts, culture, creative industries, and arts education in Nebraska. 

To ensure fairness and compliance with applicable election laws, the survey is distributed to all candidates seeking the same office without endorsing, opposing, or favoring any candidate, political party, or campaign. We, along with our partner, Nebraskans for the Arts, are committed to providing voters with objective information that supports informed civic participation and encourages meaningful engagement in Nebraska's democratic process. 

Responses returned are linked under each candidate's name below. Scroll down to view all of the election races that received an invitation to complete the survey.
