OSBORN FOR SENATE

A Single Dollar

Combined with thousands of other grassroots donors chipping in, your $1 has enormous impact.

Ad copy

I’m asking for $1 to help me defeat literal billionaire Republican Senator Pete Ricketts here in Nebraska. No, that’s not a typo. Our next fundraising deadline is just days away, and we’re still very short of our $25,000 goal and what we need to win and flip this Senate seat. I know $1 might not seem like a lot – and it’s not. But combined with thousands of other grassroots donors chipping in, your $1 has enormous impact. $1 lets me fill up the tank as I travel across Nebraska again, meeting and introducing myself to voters. $1 lets our campaign invest early in staff and the critical resources it takes to build a winning campaign. $1 lets us counter the Super PAC lies. And $1 lets us take the lead in this critical Senate race where the latest polls shows me statistically TIED with Republican Pete Ricketts! If everyone reading this chips in just $1, we will hit our fundraising goal and defeat Republican Senator Pete Ricketts. But I’m running against a literal billionaire, so I’m counting on your support now if I’m going to win and flip this Senate seat: Please, will you chip in $1 monthly right now to our campaign – more if you can afford to! – to help me defeat Republican Pete Ricketts and flip Nebraska’s Senate seat? I’m not taking money from corporate PACs. Instead, I’m funding my campaign entirely with support from everyday people like you. So truly, no amount you can afford to give today is too small. When I win and become the critical 51st vote in the Senate, it will be because grassroots donors like you gave what you could now. Thank you for your support, Dan Osborn
