Jeanne's Cookies: People like me aren’t supposed to run for office

Jeanne,

In a moment, I'm going to ask you to make a donation to my campaign for U.S. Senate against billionaire Republican Pete Ricketts here in Nebraska. But before I do, please let me explain why your donation today is so important.

I'm not rich. I'm not a politician. I'm a blue collar guy who was president of my local union until I was fired for leading a strike.

People like me aren't supposed to be able to run for office – let alone U.S. Senate – and we certainly aren't supposed to be able to win…

But last year we did almost just that. I got 47% of the vote in one of the closest Senate races in the country. And now, I'm running again for the U.S. Senate – this time against billionaire Republican Pete Ricketts.

In the Senate, I'll be the 51st vote to protect our democracy, the 51st vote to stop the corruption and get money out of politics, and the 51st vote to stand up against the billionaires like Ricketts who have been screwing over working people like me for decades.

And that's exactly why the Super PACs are going to come after me twice as hard this time to try to stop us again from flipping this seat.

We need to raise $50,000 before our fundraising deadline if we're going to be able to fight back against the lies and win this Senate seat – but right now, we're still short with time running out.

I'm not taking money from corporate PACs, so I have nowhere else to turn: Please, will you split a donation right now between my campaign and Catherine Cortez Masto to help me defeat billionaire Republican Pete Ricketts and flip Nebraska's Senate seat?

I know what it's like to work a 90-hour workweek. I know the value of a dollar. So I truly appreciate any amount you can afford to give.

Thank you – from the bottom of my heart,

Dan Osborn
