Omaha, NE – A new radio ad launched today in Omaha and Lincoln and contrasts Senator Deb Fischer’s record on issues important to older Nebraskans with the positions of her opponent, Dan Osborn. The six-figure ad campaign will run from today through election day.

The ad reminds voters that Fischer has voted to raise the Social Security retirement age, cut benefits and slash Medicare. She also voted against capping insulin costs at $35 per month.

“Seniors have earned their Social Security and Medicare benefits with every paycheck during their working lives,” said Richard Fiesta, an expert on retirement security issues and Treasurer of Retired Americans PAC. “Nebraskans need the facts so they can vote for the candidate who will protect the benefits they paid for. And that’s Dan Osborn, not Deb Fischer.”

Older voters turn out at the highest rates, and 26.5% of registered voters in Nebraska are 65 years of age or older.

“For 12 years Deb Fischer put the interests of the drug industry and big corporations ahead of older Nebraskans,” added Fiesta. “Dan Osborn is an Independent, a veteran who is not beholden to corporate interests and will strengthen Social Security and Medicare. Unlike Deb Fischer, he will stand up for Nebraska’s seniors.”

In addition to this ad running across Nebraska, Retired Americans PAC is currently running independent expenditure campaigns in the presidential, Michigan and Montana Senate, and five battleground House races: AZ-01, AZ-06, MI-07, PA-07, and PA-10.

Retired Americans PAC is the independent political arm of the Alliance for Retired Americans. Retired Americans PAC works to elect candidates who are committed to strengthening retirement security, protecting the interests of older Americans and defeating those who have taken positions that would harm older Americans.

Below is a transcript of the ad, “Announcement.”
