THE STORY BEHIND THE CAMPAIGN

Source-published biography

Nebraska has always been home for Jocelyn. Born on Offutt Air Force Base and raised in Nebraska, she grew up surrounded by a family that believed service to others was not just important, it was expected. With a father and grandfathers who served in the United States military, Jocelyn learned early on the values that would shape her life: responsibility, integrity, hard work, doing the right thing even when it’s hard, and putting people over politics.

THE STORY BEHIND THE CAMPAIGN

Source-published biography

After graduating from Bennington high school, Jocelyn left home to attend Auburn University, where she earned her degree in Philosophy. But no matter where life took her, Nebraska was always where she wanted to build her future. She returned home to attend Creighton University School of Law, earning Certificates of Concentration in Criminal Law and Procedure and Litigation. Determined and driven, she completed law school in just two-and-a-half years, graduating in December 2015 before becoming licensed to practice law in Nebraska in 2016.

THE STORY BEHIND THE CAMPAIGN

I’m running for Attorney General because I believe the Nebraska Attorney General’s Office should work for all Nebraskans, not a political agenda, one party, or any other elected office or official.

Consumer protection and fair enforcement

Candidate position

Each of these experiences strengthened and prepared her to lead the AG’s Office. Jocelyn believes that protecting consumers is one of the AGs most important responsibilities; and the AG’s Office should serve as a strong, independent watchdog for Nebraskans by listening to constituents, focusing on the issues impacting everyday people here at home, and using consumer protection and antitrust laws to promote fair competition, prevent price gouging, and make life more affordable for working families across the state.

Respect Nebraska Voters

Candidate position

⚑ In 2024, Nebraskans voted overwhelmingly to legalize medical marijuana. Rather than implement the law, Hilgers used the AG’s Office to challenge it — leaving law enforcement, providers, and patients without clear guidance. Jocelyn Brasher will respect that vote.
