John,

It's Dan Osborn, the candidate running for U.S. Senate against Republican Deb Fischer here in Nebraska.

I've gotten a lot of eye rolls when I say the word Nebraska and tell people that I’m running against a Republican. A lot of people don’t think we can win against a two-term incumbent who has an (R) next to her name. But give me the chance to explain why they’re wrong.

The people of Nebraska are ready for change. Five brand-new polls show me narrowly LEADING my opponent Republican Deb Fischer – and according to FiveThirtyEight, this is now the closest Senate race in the entire country! Seriously.

Nebraskans are fed up with Washington. Both parties – Democrats and Republicans – are full of too many people that have been bought and paid for by corporations and billionaires. The Republicans don’t look out for blue-collar working people like me, and too many Democrats in DC don’t seem to understand rural America anymore.

I’m not rich, and I don’t come from some political dynasty. I’ve got no business running for the U.S. Senate – and that’s exactly why I am.

I am a proud card-carrying steamfitter and mechanic. I was president of my local union before I got fired for leading a strike that saved 500 middle-class jobs in Nebraska. I served in the United States Navy and joined the National Guard to help pay for college before I had to drop out so I could keep food on the table for my family.

There’s nobody like me in the Senate. But with your help, I believe we can win and finally elect a senator whose collars are blue. And all of the polls prove it.

I don’t have Mitch McConnell's Super PACs spending over $10.6 MILLION like my opponent does, and I'm not taking money from corporate PACs. If I’m going to defeat Republican Deb Fischer and win this Senate race, I am counting on grassroots donors like you to believe in me and make a donation right now to my campaign:

Please, will you chip in just $5 to my campaign for U.S. Senate – or whatever amount you can afford – to help me defeat Republican Deb Fischer and flip this Senate seat in November?

Please use the links in this email to start a weekly donation through ActBlue:

I believe we can protect our democracy, stop these ridiculous abortion bans, and put an end to the corruption in Washington. But I need your help to do it.

Your support would mean the world to me.

Thank you,

Dan Osborn
