  4. Page updatedAugust 26, 2026

The page is a public media toolkit whose overview section contains explicit instructions on what voters in a specific congressional district should see and on what channel ('on the go'), along with a prescribed message. This is not voter-facing persuasion but rather guidance for an outside spender to run ads. The inclusion of video b-roll and photos as media resources further confirms the page's function as red-box guidance.

Quoted evidence — verbatim spans from the page

  • Voters in CD-3 should see and see while on the go that both parties are corrupt and beholden to corporations.
    Directive language specifying a geographic segment (CD-3), a channel ('on the go'), and a prescribed message theme, indicating media-buy guidance to an outside group.
  • Video B-Roll
    Provision of ad assets (b-roll) for use in paid communications, a common red-box signal.
  • Photos

OVERVIEW Updated 3.31.26

Voters in CD-3 should see and see while on the go that both parties are corrupt and beholden to corporations. Dan Osborn, a lifelong independent, mechanic, and veteran, will never bow down to a party boss or a CEO. He’ll take on corruption and corporate greed to lower costs, protect our values, and keep us safe.
