Osborn Makes Campaign Stop At Handlebend Monday

SENATE CAMPAIGN STOP - Dan Osborn stopped at Handlebend on Tuesday, Oct. 14 on a campaign stop. Pictured is the coat from the campaign that accuses Senator Fischer of taking donations from and aligning with big money.

Dan Osborn, a candidate for Nebraska Senate Seat, stopped at the Handlebend on Monday, Oct. 14, to visit voters. The stakes are high now, with the election occurring in three weeks. Osborn, running as an Independent, is running against Republican incumbent Deb Fischer. Fischer has not yet accepted a challenge from Osborn for a debate.

Dan graduated from Roncalli Catholic High School in 1994. Following his father's footsteps, Dan joined the United States Navy and served four years as an SK aboard the USS Constellation CV-64, completing two Western Pacific cruises and two Rimpac cruises.

Dan then joined the Nebraska Army National Guard. He attended the 19K (Tanker) school in Boise, Idaho, and moved to Knoxville, Tennessee, where he served time in the Tennessee National Guard.

To ensure stability for his family, Dan began work as an industrial mechanic at the Kellogg's plant in Omaha in 2004. Working long hours, he made a middle-class living for himself, his wife Megan, and his three children.

Dan rose to the presidency of his union, BCTGM 50G. He led the successful 2021 Kellogg's strike in Omaha, defeating efforts to slash benefits and guaranteeing the factory's continued operation through 2026.

Osborn touts his conservative values, and being an industrial mechanic, he says he is the working man's candidate. Dan spent time answering questions about his untruthfulness and accusations made about him by his opponent. Osborn dispelled acquisitions made by Fischer as part of her mudslinging political race, such as him being a Democrat and alleged involvement with the likes of Bernie Sanders and taking money from the Democrats referring to when he was head of the union in Omaha and a group Sanders was involved with gave money to the union so that the Kellogg's employees could pay bills and live during the strike.

Part of Osborn's platform is that he is tired of corrupt politicians who are out of touch with their working constituents and only vote for the best interests of the donors who contribute to their pocketbooks.

"I'll work to cut taxes on small businesses and advocate for common sense policies like Country of Origin labeling and Right to Repair," said Osborn.

"Politicians in both parties are imposing their personal beliefs on citizens, stomping on our rights as citizens. Career politicians like Fischer had every chance to secure the border. They failed. The current Congress is the least effective in recent history. I know what working hard and getting my hands dirty is like. I will work daily to fix Washington and make it work better for all Americans. If I'm elected, I will do what I can to get the government off our backs and out of our private lives."
