OSBORN FOR SENATE
People like me aren't supposed to run for office
Last year, I ran for the U.S. Senate here in Nebraska – and we nearly won. I got 47% of the vote in one of the closest Senate races in the country.

People like me aren’t supposed to run for office.
I’m not rich. I’m not a billionaire. I don’t even make six-figures.
I didn’t go to an Ivy League school. I didn’t even finish college. After my wife got pregnant, I had to drop out to find a job to pay for diapers and health insurance.
I’m not a politician. I’m a steamfitter and mechanic who’s worked 60-hour – sometimes even 90-hour – weeks to give my family the dream of a better life.
People like me aren’t supposed to run for office – and we certainly aren’t supposed to win.
But I’ve seen what can happen when people decide to organize and fight. As president of my local union, I led an 11-week strike against Kellogg’s for better pay and better benefits. We took on a corporate giant and we won – protecting 500 good-paying jobs.
Last year, I ran for the U.S. Senate against Republican Deb Fischer here in Nebraska – and we nearly beat her. I got 47% of the vote in one of the closest Senate races in the country.
Now, I’m ready for the next fight: I just announced I’m running again for U.S. Senate – this time against literal billionaire Republican Pete Ricketts – and the first poll shows us in a virtual TIE: 46% to 45%.
We can defeat Republican Pete Ricketts and flip this Senate seat for working class families, but my opponent is a literal billionaire. He can write his campaign a million-dollar check any time he wants to.
We’ve set a goal of raising $50,000 to defeat Republican Pete Ricketts and flip this Senate seat, but right now, we’re still short. If we’re going to be able to fight back and win, I’m counting on grassroots donors like you to give right now:
Please, will you make a monthly donation right now to my campaign for U.S. Senate to help me defeat Republican Pete Ricketts and win Nebraska’s Senate seat?
In Washington, I’ll be the 51st vote to protect our democracy, the 51st vote for workers, and the 51st vote to finally get corporate money out of politics.
But I’m counting on you to help me get there.
Thank you, from the bottom of my heart.
