Chelsea grew up on the family farm in rural Nemaha County and attended Johnson-Brock Public Schools.
After graduating high school Chelsea moved to Lincoln and graduated from Nebraska Wesleyan University. Chelsea worked as a Community & Economic Development specialist for the United States Department of Agriculture, and has worked as the Deputy Director of Conservation Nebraska since 2014. In this role, Chelsea launched the Common Ground Program and has focused on bringing people together around clean air and clean water.
Chelsea was elected to the Lower Platte South NRD Board in 2016 and is currently serving as Treasurer. She was appointed to the Lincoln Electric System Board in 2021. In both of these roles, Chelsea has focused on keeping costs low while making sure that we are providing critical services and planning for the future.
Chelsea has deep Nebraska roots that reach back seven generations. Growing up on the family farm, Chelsea understands the value of hard work, community, and common sense. Chelsea has spent her career bringing people together around common sense solutions -- working with people of all political leanings and backgrounds to get things done.
Chelsea has a proven track record of building common ground and solving problems to make a better community for all of us. As a member of the Lower Platte South NRD Board and the Lincoln Electric System Board, Chelsea has worked with Republicans, Democrats, and Independents to keep costs low while providing the important services that people expect.
Lancaster County is a great, growing community, but more and more people are struggling to get by. The cost of housing, healthcare, and childcare have all gone up and our families, friends, and neighbors are having a hard time affording the basics. Chelsea will work to protect the things we love about our community and make sure it's
affordable for all.

Chelsea is endorsed by leaders across the political spectrum because they know she is about common sense and bringing people together to find solutions that help everyone in our community.
