71% Informative

Dan Osborn is a union industrial mechanic who led a strike at the Kellogg ’s cereal plant in Omaha in 2021 .

His combination of populist economic views with a dash of social conservatism has him running strong against two -term GOP Sen. Deb Fischer .

An Osborn victory would throw a wrench into GOP plans to control the Senate come 2025 .

A super PAC with ties to Mitch McConnell spent $1.4 million in ads against Dan Osborn in September .

National Republicans have chipped in $ 172,000 to co-fund an ad with Fischer called “ Democrat in Disguise ” In other ways, Osborn talks a lot like a standard Midwestern , pro-labor Democrat .

He wants to lower middle-class taxes, block private-equity takeovers of health care companies whose services Medicare covers.

Osborn ’s anti-corporate, throw-the-bums-out message marks something of a strategic break with the Democrats who most recently won federal office in Nebraska .

“Populism has always played in Nebraska ,” said Crystal Rhoades , the Democratic clerk of court in Douglas County , Nebraska .
