DAN OSBORN

Independent candidate for U.S. Senate in Nebraska. An Army and Navy veteran and organized-labor leader running to break the two-party doom loop and put the working class ahead of the corporations and the 1% — answerable to Nebraskans, not the party bosses.

The Core Problem

"We are stuck in a two-party doom loop where corporations and the 1% control elections."

Dan Osborn · Army & Navy Veteran · Nebraska

Where He Stands

Priorities for Nebraska

Campaign Finance Reform

Overturn Citizens United and decouple legislation from dark-money interests, so elections answer to voters instead of corporations and the 1%.

Anti-Monopoly Reform

Aggressive antitrust enforcement to break up the corporate cartels squeezing Nebraska's competitive markets, small businesses, and farmers.

Standing Up for Veterans

A full-spectrum commitment to health care and reintegration for the men and women who served — brought by someone who wore the uniform himself.

The Race

Why It Matters

  • A real independent alternative in Nebraska's Senate race — answerable to Nebraskans, not party leadership.
  • An Army and Navy veteran and organized-labor leader who answers to the working class, not a party.
  • Reform-first: campaign-finance reform, anti-monopoly enforcement, and a real commitment to veterans.
The Opportunity

Nebraska's Senate seat has long been a safe partisan hold. Dan offers a serious independent-veteran alternative — a chance to send a reformer to Washington who owes nothing to either party machine, and everything to the working families of Nebraska.
