Conservatives for Osborn

Dan Osborn is a Navy veteran, a former Nebraska Army National Guardsman, and a mechanic by trade who has spent his life working with his hands. He’s spent his career in the trades, most recently as a steamfitter’s apprentice.

Dan is running for the U.S. Senate as an independent because both parties have failed Nebraska and sold out to big money. He believes Nebraska deserves a senator who has punched a clock and paid a mortgage, not one who inherited a fortune and bought his way into office.

Dan on the Issues

It's time to drain the swamp and root out the waste, fraud, and abuse costing taxpayers billions. Career politicians should not be able to use our taxes as a slush fund. Dan wants to end the revolving door between big government and big business. He supports banning members of Congress like Nancy Pelosi from trading stocks while they're writing the laws that move the market. Dan refuses to take money from corporate PACs, unlike Pete Ricketts, who inherited a fortune and used it to buy elections.

Nebraska farm and ranchland should be owned and operated by the Nebraska families who have owned that land for generations, not foreign corporations who are taking advantage of our state to make a buck. Dan will fight against foreign ownership of our farmland and stand up for our rural communities who get left behind in DC. Dan supports Right to Repair, so Nebraska farmers can fix their own tractors instead of being trapped in overpriced contracts with manufacturers like John Deere. Dan will break up the Big Ag monopolies that continue to drive up prices while the 2% of people who feed the other 98% make less.

Dan is a veteran who will always defend the Second Amendment rights of law abiding Nebraskans to hunt, protect their families, and own firearms. We need to push back against tech companies and data brokers that spy on your phone to track your searches and spending. This feeds the algorithms that drive up prices through surveillance pricing. Our children and grandchildren deserve a path to financial security, which is why Dan supports apprenticeships and trade schools. A middle class lifestyle shouldn't be reserved for those who can afford a four year degree. Dan also wants to ban the algorithms that social media sites use to get our children addicted to their platforms. It is time to end the taxpayer funded handouts to these companies who are trying to build data centers in our back yard and take our energy and clean water while giving nothing back.

Dan believes that without borders, we don't have a country. And unlike his opponent, who has sold out Nebraska to China and Brazil, Dan is committed to a border and immigration policy that benefits Americans. He supports real physical security, modern technology, and enough agents and resources to stop drug traffickers and human smugglers at the source. Nebraska's families deserve a border policy that works, not the chaos and dysfunction Washington politicians have let fester for decades. Dan will ensure our border agents have the resources they need to keep us safe, and will punish the businesses that bring illegal workers into our country.

Dan served in the Navy and the Nebraska Army National Guard, so he knows the true cost of war firsthand. He doesn't believe Nebraska's sons and daughters should be sent to fight and die in Israel's wars, and America has spent too much on conflicts in the Middle East while hard working Nebraskans struggle. He wants a common sense trade policy that promotes American business, and doesn't isolate our largest trade partners. Dan will fight for a safer world that puts Americans first, not the chaos that hurts our economy and benefits our enemies abroad.
