Dear Supporters, This is going to be quite the finale to what has been a hard-fought race. I am incredibly proud of the work this campaign has done. It shouldn’t be possible for a shop floor mechanic to beat the son of a billionaire, but right now the polls are effectively tied. We are down to the margin of effort,...

Dear Supporters, We are spending October doing my favorite part of campaigning, travelling the state and having conversations with Nebraskans. This week, we narrowed it down to just 14 more stops on the 93-county tour. Our Sandhills tour took us to 20 different towns and cities in Nebraska in just 4 days. Thanks for...

On October 4, 2025 three people died in a deadly hit and run crash on Interstate 4 in Volusia County, Florida. The suspect was driving a Dodge Durango, the same make and model of the car 23-year-old Lindsey Isaacs was driving about three miles ahead of the crash when it occurred on Interstate 4. In the early...

Dear Supporters, We are busier than ever as we get closer to the election. The polling is as tight as it can be, but even if we were up 10 points we would still be traveling the state talking to Nebraskans. This weekend, we are on one of our last road trips, doing 19 events in 19 counties over 4 days. It will leave...

Dear Supporters, This week, we hit the road again and did town halls in Northeast Nebraska on Sunday, before heading up to Tekamah Friday night. On the way back from Tekamah, we also stopped in Blair and spoke with some local Republicans. Thanks to Don Harrold of the Washington County Enterprise for hosting, and the...

Dear Supporters, This was a big week for the campaign. We took a trip to Red Cloud because it was the right thing to do. We want to offer a big thank you to the people of Red Cloud for coming out and speaking with us. When we want to learn about ranching, we talk to ranchers. When we want to talk about healthcare,...

Dear Supporters, This week, we took a trip to our nation’s capital to join with other independent candidates at the Independent National Convention. It was great to meet up with candidates like Bill Hill from Alaska, Brian Bengs from South Dakota, and the Notre Dame Fighting Irish football team from Indiana… OK,...

Dear Supporters, This week started out with a humbling experience. The Reading Room came to town and gave me the opportunity to tour the Epstein Bookmobile with survivors of Jeffrey Epstein’s crimes. I spent some time with the survivors beforehand and learned their stories. Sharlene Rochard is herself an Epstein...

Dear Supporters, We are LIVE!!! I know you’re tired of all of my opponents ads - we sure are. This week, we hit the airwaves with a few ads of our own. Jacket - This 60-second ad takes place in Ricketts’ preferred place to do politics - a classic smoke-filled room with all of his favorite donors sitting around the...

What We Did/Weekly Highlights Dear Supporters, Thank you to everyone who tuned in for my debate against Pete Ricketts. He talked a lot about this Democrat Dan guy… I don’t know if there was a third person who was supposed to show up, but I only saw two podiums. Joking aside, the debate made it clear. Ricketts’...

Last night, I had the opportunity to debate my opponent, Pete Ricketts, at the Nebraska State Fair in Grand Island. We went back and forth, arguing for our vision of Nebraska… though Pete seemed to be obsessed with this “Democrat Dan” guy. I’m not sure if he was seeing double or if there should have been a third...

Dear Supporters, This was a busy week! Of course we are still preparing for our debate with Ricketts on September 1. We’re excited for the opportunity to put our vision of the country up there against our opponents. In the run up to the debate, we already have our booth set up at the Nebraska State Fair. Team Osborn...

We’ve all heard stories or lived through them ourselves. A friend who’s sick but can’t afford to go to the doctor still goes into work. A loved one who stopped taking their prescriptions because they couldn’t afford them anymore who saw their diabetes worsen or their heart condition take their life. These should not...

Dear Supporters, This week, I was proud to roll out the final plank of our Nebraska Growth and Fairness Plan. We held our press conference at the Monument to Labor on the Omaha Riverfront Protecting the Good Life means ensuring that the world our kids and grandkids grow up in is better than our own. It means...

Today, I had the opportunity to roll out the final plank of our Nebraska Growth and Fairness Plan - Protect the Good Life. No matter what the DC partisan hacks try to tell you, at least here, in Nebraska, we aren’t a state of Democrats or Republicans. We are a state of neighbors looking out for one another so we can...

For many of us, the American Dream has become just that. A dream. But that doesn’t have to be the case. Good jobs, affordable homeownership, access to quality healthcare and education, safe streets, dignity in work, clean air and water - all of this can be possible again for everyday Nebraskans. We live in the most...
