Osborn Campaign Weekly Wrap-Up September 18

Dear Supporters,

This week started out with a humbling experience. The Reading Room came to town and gave me the opportunity to tour the Epstein Bookmobile with survivors of Jeffrey Epstein’s crimes. I spent some time with the survivors beforehand and learned their stories. Sharlene Rochard is herself an Epstein Survivor, and Sky and Amanda Roberts are the brother and sister-in-law of Virginia Roberts Giuffre, who was an Epstein Survivor and outspoken advocate until she took her own life. I cannot thank them enough for meeting with me and sharing their stories. I know it must have taken tremendous courage.

If I want to learn about ranching, I talk to a rancher. If I want to learn about healthcare, I talk to doctors and nurses. I’m confident I will be a better advocate in the US Senate for survivors of sexual assault having had this experience. When I get to the Senate, I will be a relentless advocate for justice for not only the Epstein Survivors, but sexual assault survivors everywhere.

We also were able to make it out to the Fiestas Patrias Parade and celebration in South Omaha this weekend. The weather was great, and I got to stop into some of the businesses on 24th street.

We continue the home stretch of this campaign. Our opponent is dumping more money than ever into this campaign, powered by his billionaire family and the corporations that take advantage of everyday Nebraskans.

Unfortunately, for them, Nebraska is not for sale.

In the News

The Union Pacific merger is bad for workers. Check out Olivia Moody’s story in the World Herald to hear about Dan’s stance on the issue.

People are tired of the two-party doom loop, and are looking for something different. Here is Dan on CNN discussing it.

Dan stopped by the studio to hang out with the Pod Save America guys.

NCN covered the visit with the Epstein Bookmobile.

On Social Media

Pocket Pete is back this week! Check out our favorite pocket-sized Senator on Instagram.

It’s a long way to November, but we don’t mind polls like these.

On Facebook, you can get a more complete look at our time with the Bookmobile.

On X, you can see exactly who is funding Ricketts’ campaign these days.

And you can see our latest ad, which features some of Ricketts’ policies I have serious beef with.

Volunteer Asks

In 2024, Dan came unbelievably close to winning this seat. This year, Nebraska has once again attracted national attention as one of 2026’s most hotly contested races.

That’s why we need YOUR help to make sure that every voter in Nebraska has the chance to hear Dan’s message. We might not have the billionaire special interests on our side, but we have something more powerful: the hardworking people of the Cornhusker State.

The most important action you can take is to reach out to your fellow Nebraskans by knocking doors. Even if you only have a few hours a week, every door counts. Click HERE to sign up for your first shift! This weekend, canvasses will be launched in:

  • Kearney

  • Lincoln

  • West Omaha

  • Omaha Campaign HQ

  • Richardson

  • Beatrice

  • Columbus

  • Fremont

  • Lyons

If you can’t canvass for us (again, the MOST important thing you can do to support the campaign), or if you want to double up on volunteer opportunities, Team Dan also offers phonebanks every evening – except for Friday or Monday – from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM (except for Cornhusker game days – then it will be from 2-4!). Put on your comfiest clothes, pour a cup of tea, and come hang out with us. Sign up https://www.mobilize.us/osbornforsenate/?event_type=2.

Finally, if none of these options appeal to you, feel free to come attend one of our Volunteer Gatherings, where you can socialize with your friends, make yard signs, organize your neighbors, phonebank in person, and more!

Finally, be sure to take a look at our upcoming events calendar.We are proud to represent working Nebraskans, and always excited to meet the people who make this state great.
