Last year, we got 47% of the vote in one of the closest Senate races in the country.

Ad copy

I’ve got huge news: A brand-new poll shows me LEADING Republican Senator Pete Ricketts by one point here in Nebraska! Last year, we almost won. We got 47% of the vote in one of the closest Senate races in the country. Now, I’m running against literal billionaire Republican Pete Ricketts, and this is the second poll showing we can win and replace a trust-fund kid with a blue-collar mechanic. But Ricketts has already spent $1.6 MILLION on new ads attacking me. I’m not a wealthy guy. My dad can’t write my campaign million dollar checks like Pete’s can. The only way we’ll be able to fight back and win this Senate seat for working class people is if grassroots donors like you chip in right now: Please, will you make a monthly donation to our campaign right now to help me defeat billionaire Republican Pete Ricketts and win Nebraska’s Senate seat? Last year, our average contribution was $37 – a true testament to the grassroots movement we built together. I’m ready to be the 51st vote in the Senate to get money out of politics, take on the billionaires, and put an end to the corruption. But I need your help today to get there. Thank you for everything, Dan Osborn

Standout elementFlatwater Free Press news screenshot of Ricketts as an illustrated plutocrat figure anchoring the money-in-politics attack
TacticThe ad uses a credible local news article about Ricketts' wealth to legitimize the class-contrast attack, then pairs it with a blunt ominous overlay to drive urgency and donations.
