Voters of Tomorrow, the largest Gen Z-led voter engagement organization in the country, is endorsing Independent Dan Osborn in Nebraska’s fierce US Senate race.
The group, which has more than 11,000 members across 25+ states, says it’ll be engaging young voters in Nebraska to support Osborn through peer-to-peer outreach, voter drives, and campus activations at Creighton University and the University of Nebraska at Omaha.
The former union leader turned US Senate hopeful lands the cosign over incumbent Republican Pete Ricketts, the state’s multimillionaire former governor seeking re-election for his first full term in Washington.
“Young people need Dan Osborn—a union leader and a father—in the Senate fighting for us and all working people,” said Santiago Mayer, the founder and executive director of Voters of Tomorrow in a statement. “It’s time for change. Young people deserve better. We deserve a government that fights for us and not the billionaires at the top.”
More than 50 million members of Gen Z are eligible to vote in 2026, according to a UCLA Williams Institute study.
“Support of younger voters is going to be a cornerstone of our coalition going into November,” Osborn told Courier Nebraska. “Many of the challenges we are facing as a country impact young people the hardest. We owe it to the next generation that they have the same opportunities and path to the middle class as prior generations.”
Voters of Tomorrow told COURIER in July the group would invest $1 million this midterm cycle into organizing.
The announcement comes less than two weeks before voters hit the polls on Nov. 3.
