What are working people actually getting from the political system right now? Higher costs. More division. More politicians spending all day fighting each other on TV while regular people struggle to afford groceries, healthcare, housing, and childcare.

And somehow, no matter which party is in charge, the corporate interests and billionaire donors always seem to come out just fine.

That’s not an accident. Too many politicians in both parties are looking out for the people bankrolling their campaigns rather than the people who actually run this country.

That’s why I’m running as an Independent. Not because I think I have all the answers, but because this system clearly is not working for everyday people — and pretending otherwise won’t fix it.

I’m not going to Washington to join a team sport. I’m going to fight for Nebraskans.

That means taking on corruption. Standing up to corporate monopolies. Protecting working people and small businesses. And saying “no” to the political machine when it’s failing the people it’s supposed to serve.

But the reality is that the two-party system has a lot of money and power protecting it. The corporate interests bankrolling politicians do not want a campaign like ours to succeed because it would prove that working people no longer have to settle for politics as usual. So I’m asking: Can you chip in $5 or $10 today to help us keep building this independent movement?
