Nebraska independent Dan Osborn, a former union leader who waged a competitive but ultimately unsuccessful bid for Senate in 2024, is trying again.
Osborn announced Tuesday that he is taking on Republican Pete Ricketts, the state’s former governor who is running for his first full term in the Senate.
Osborn, who lost to GOP Sen. Deb Fischer by single digits last fall, will again run as a working-class populist, a message that he says will contrast with Ricketts, one of the wealthiest members of Congress.
