We're TIED in the polls!

Dan Osborn here, the union leader and mechanic running for U.S. Senate in Nebraska against billionaire Republican Pete Ricketts. I've got big news: Three polls in a row now show us statistically tied. Yes, TIED! In 2024, pundits said this race wasn't winnable. But it turned out to be one of the closest Senate races in the country. And now, according to these new polls, Nebraska is once again the closest race in 2026! I'm not taking corporate PAC money like my billionaire opponent, though. So this campaign is powered by small-dollar help from people just like you. So let's do this together, win this Senate race, and flip Nebraska for working-class people. Please, use the link below to make a monthly donation of whatever amount you can afford now to our campaign.
