Osborn Campaign Weekly Wrap-Up August 21

Dear Supporters,

This week, I was proud to roll out the final plank of our Nebraska Growth and Fairness Plan.

We held our press conference at the Monument to Labor on the Omaha Riverfront

Protecting the Good Life means ensuring that the world our kids and grandkids grow up in is better than our own. It means building thriving communities where hard work pays off. Together, we can send a candidate to the senate who understands the challenges of everyday Nebraskans, and will protect the Nebraska way of life. Check out the whole plan here.

We also made it down to Hastings, and marched in the Kool-Aid days parade. Afterwards, we made it out to the fair grounds and cooled off while enjoying the full range of Kool-Aid flavors (Lemon-Lime remains my favorite)!

Getting money out of politics? Ohhhhh Yeah!

We are still working hard on debate prep, and I’m looking forward to displaying my vision for the country for Nebraskans.

This weekend, we are doing another leg of the 93-county tour, see more info below if you want to come out and join us. Running for office means showing up for your community, and unlike Pocket Pete Ricketts, I take that very seriously. Come prepared with questions, energy, and spirit!

Social Media Highlights

To kick off this week’s social media highlights, check out our staffers Kool-Aid costumes from the parade on Instagram.

On X, you can see why I’m traveling to all 93 counties. On our tour, I got the chance to answer a question on the algorithms that are harming our kids.

On Facebook, we highlighted one of the biggest problems with Nebraska agriculture, the consolidation of the beef industry.

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

  • Omaha

  • Richardson

  • Beatrice

  • Columbus

  • Fremont

If you can’t canvas 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 – from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM. Put on your comfiest clothes, pour a cup of tea, and come hang out with us. Sign up HERE.

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.
