Legislative District 30 · Nebraska Unicameral
I’m running to represent Legislative District 30 in the Nebraska Legislature for farm families, Main Streets, and neighbors in Gage County and southeast Lancaster County.
For the people. Not a party.

Meet Colton
I’ve built my life on showing up and owning the outcome.
I’m Colton J. Porter — a U.S. military veteran, the founder of a Nebraska security and technology company, and a Hickman resident. I built that business the way I’d want our state run: answer the phone yourself, tell people the truth, keep your prices and your promises transparent, and never pass the buck when something goes wrong.
Nebraska has the only nonpartisan, one-house Legislature in the country — a system built to put people and ideas ahead of party games. I’m running for the Nebraska Unicameral to represent Legislative District 30 and protect that: to show up in every town, listen more than I talk, and fight for the families, farmers, and small businesses who make Gage County and southeast Lancaster County work.
