I'm Dan Osborn: This is why I want Nebraska's vote for Senate

Across Nebraska, moving radical aren’t getting a just shake. Costs are excessively high, the border’s a mess, and vocation politicians walk their clip enriching themselves and serving their donors alternatively of doing thing astir it. The U.S. Senate is conscionable a state nine of millionaires who enactment for billionaires and person nary thought what it’s similar to enactment for a surviving and are spending this state into bankruptcy. 

It’s clip we tried thing else.

I joined the Navy retired of precocious school, past the Nebraska National Guard. For the past 20 years I’ve worked fifty, sixty, seventy-hour weeks connected the mill level to supply for my family. When firm greed and reckless authorities spending thrust up the terms of groceries, my household feels it successful our pocketbooks – conscionable similar yours.

My hostile – incumbent Republican Sen. Deb Fischer – doesn't recognize what we’re going through. Since getting to Washington, Deb’s gotten 10 times richer portion the nationalist indebtedness has much than doubled. She sold retired Nebraska and lined her pockets portion we paid the price.

During her clip successful Washington, she enabled wasteful and reckless spending that led to our $35 trillion nationalist debt. That’s wherefore she was censured by 3 Republican region parties present successful Nebraska. As the Hitchcock County GOP memorably enactment it, Fischer "violated the basal tenets of her publicly-asserted blimpish principles." Just recently, she failed to walk a workplace bill, leaving Nebraska’s farmers and ranchers – the backbone of our state’s communities and system – retired to dry.

But it gets worse. Just this year, our Senator, Deb Fischer, voted with Democrats successful the Senate to termination a Republican migration plan that would person added 1,500 borderline agents and $20 cardinal for borderline security. That is simply inexcusable – if we don’t person a border, we don't person a country. But Deb would alternatively bash the bidding of her firm donors who payment from exploiting inexpensive labor.

Worst of all, my hostile acts similar she is entitled to her Senate seat. When she archetypal ran for office, she pledged to abide by a two-term limit, and past shamelessly broke her committedness to Nebraskans by moving for a 3rd term. 

She besides conscionable flatly refuses to speech to the radical of Nebraska. Instead of holding municipality halls present successful Nebraska, she spends her clip with her corporate donors successful Washington. She refuses to statement me, wherever she’d beryllium forced to explicate her grounds to the radical of our state. Throughout this campaign, she hasn’t held a azygous nationalist lawsuit successful Nebraska wherever the nationalist could inquire her questions. Meanwhile, I’ve held much than 180 nationalist events crossed the state. 

My connection means thing to me. It means thing to my family. And it means thing to Nebraskans. Deb Fischer has shown america that her connection means nothing. She’s sold Nerbaskans retired clip and again. She cares astir herself. She cares astir her donors. She doesn’t attraction astir us.

In the Senate, I volition always enactment Nebraska first. I won’t rotation implicit to large firm interests and their checkbooks. I won’t beryllium bullied by China and Big Tech. Unlike Deb, I won't enactment a terms tag connected Nebraskans. I’ll enactment with, oregon instrumentality on, anyone successful either enactment to instrumentality effectual argumentation that volition really payment hard-working Nebraskans – supporting small, household businesses, lowering ostentation and putting much wealth successful your pockets, lowering transgression and closing our borders.

I’m not connected the ballot acknowledgment to a governmental enactment – I’m connected the ballot acknowledgment to the radical of my state. Twelve 1000 Nebraskans from each 93 counties signed petitions truthful that I could tally for Senate, and I built enactment for my run done one-on-one interactions with the radical of this state. The radical present cognize that Washington politicians are failing them. It’s clip for Nebraskans person a legislator who really represents us. The radical who can’t bargain senators.
