Petersen Campaign Unveils Replacement “Trump Sign” for Iconic Barn

There is a new “Trump” sign coming soon to a barn near you.
Outside the Douglas County Republican Party headquarters in Omaha this afternoon, Scott Petersen and a handful of supporters unveiled the new Trump sign for the iconic barn near Ashland, Nebraska.
“We’re super fortunate to get our sign on the famous red barn,” Petersen said. “A big windstorm knocked the Trump sign off, so we thought it’d be nice to get that back up.”
The new sign was printed locally thanks to a private donation.
The “Trump” barn, belonging to Alan Vogel, has featured signs for many candidates over the past several years. It currently displays signs for Petersen himself and the pro-life group LifeRunners.
“Alan, who owns the barn, is a super Christian and obviously very pro-life,”
Petersen said. “I think when I win, hopefully the NEGOP will go to work and maybe do a fundraiser and repair his barn. It needs a little work, so that’s our next project.”
Attendees at the event included current chair Nancy Hicks and former chair Mike Moran.
The race for Nebraska’s secretary of state has heated up in recent weeks, with Congressman Don Bacon entering the fray online. Bacon referred to Petersen as “President of the tin-foil hat club” on X. Petersen took the jab in stride, handing out large prints of the post and autographing them for supporters.
The DCRP headquarters is located next door to Don Bacon’s former campaign office, which is now vacant. One supporter jokingly hung a sign that read “Out of Business” on the outside window during the event.
For now, Petersen hopes to get the Trump sign back up and draw some attention from the 47th President.
“We’ll get the Trump sign back up. We’re gonna help do that, and we’re having a lot of fun,” Petersen said. “And hopefully Trump sees it—we’ll get that picture circulating. Maybe Trump will pick it up.”
