John,
My opponent’s latest campaign finance report featured all the classic hits from Wall Street Pete Ricketts: Donations from corporate giants like banks, foreign lobbyists, chemical manufacturers, etc. Just your typical sell-out member of Congress – bought and paid for by special interests.
But one donation stuck out to me in particular. Pete Ricketts donated $43,000 to his own campaign.
I don’t come from money. I’ve worked 60+ hour weeks in a factory for the last 20 years to support my family. But this Senate race is important, so I’m taking a page out of the Wall Street Pete playbook.
I am proud to announce that I have officially donated $43 to my campaign to win Nebraska’s Senate seat for working-class people.
In all seriousness, I’ve said from the beginning that we are not going to out-raise my opponent. He comes from a billionaire family and can do things like write his campaign a $43,000 check.
That’s why I rely so much on your support. It’s because of grassroots supporters like you that I can raise the money I need to take on the billionaires, corporations, and the ruling class – and your help now is the only way we’re going to defeat Republican Senator Pete Ricketts and win Nebraska’s Senate seat this November.
Thank you for standing with me.
Dan Osborn
