Osborn for Senate

Grand Island Debate

Ad copy

Great debate in Grand Island. Great crowd. All we were missing was... my opponent! I would have preferred to sit down with Senator Fischer and let the voters hear from us both on the issues. But I guess she wasn't interested in speaking to the voters. I wasn't going to let that keep me from talking to the voters though! 🪑
