Osborn for Senate
$5. That's the amount I'm humbly asking you to pitch in to my campaign. I'm Dan Osborn, the Independent candidate running to unseat billionaire Republican Senator Pete Ricketts this November. Yes, just $5. $5 because in 2024, Nebraska was one of the closest Senate races in the country. $5 because now I’m running again against billionaire Republican Pete Ricketts, and the latest poll shows me LEADING for 2026 – 47% to 46%. $5 because I will be the 51st vote in the Senate to protect our democracy, expand worker rights, and get corporate money out of politics. And $5 because I am running against a literal billionaire – and the only way I’ll be able to fight back against the Super PACs and their lies is with your help now. I know $5 might not seem like much, but together with thousands of other grassroots donors like you, we can take on Republican Senator Pete Ricketts – and we can win. We’ve set a goal to raise another $5,000 before our next fundraising deadline, but right now, we are still short. Please, can I count on you to donate to my campaign right now – whatever you can afford – to help me defeat billionaire Republican Pete Ricketts and flip Nebraska’s Senate seat? Thank you.
