Beau McCoy, a home improvement contractor, thoughtfully approaches Nebraska issues from a conservative viewpoint. Among the many legislative candidates The World-Herald has interviewed this spring, McCoy stands out for his forcefulness and sure-handedness in explaining the various burdens on small businesses in Nebraska.

He well describes the need to reduce the tax load as a long-term strategic goal for the state. McCoy notes that his family background provides him with an understanding of rural issues. He well describes appropriate methods of studying issues in depth and weighing factors carefully — key attributes of a responsible lawmaker.
