NE-02 Candidate Kishla Askins on War, Healthcare and Why Congress Is Failing

In this episode of The Jazari Kual Show, we sit down with Kishla Askins, a Democratic candidate running to represent Nebraska’s 2nd Congressional District. With more than three decades of military and medical experience, Askins shares how serving in combat zones, working in the Pentagon, and writing federal policy shaped her decision to run for Congress. From performing life-saving care in mass casualty situations to helping pass legislation signed into law, she argues that her experience gives her a unique perspective on leadership and accountability. We cover: • Why she believes the current political system is out of touch with everyday Americans • Her economic development plan aimed at lowering the cost of living • A new approach to health care focused on prevention and “whole health” • Her stance on U.S. foreign policy, including Venezuela, Iran, and global military strategy • Concerns about Congress failing to check executive power • Why she says this race could flip Nebraska’s 2nd District Askins also discusses what sets her apart in a crowded Democratic primary and why she believes experience, service, and policy-driven solutions matter more than party politics. This is a deep, unfiltered conversation about policy, power, and what’s at stake for Nebraskans heading into one of the most competitive House races in the country.
