LINCOLN — Registered nonpartisan U.S. Senate candidate Dan Osborn submitted signatures Thursday to get his name on the general election ballot this fall against Republican U.S. Sen. Pete Ricketts.
To be on the general election ballot as a nonpartisan, someone must submit 4,000 signatures from registered voters, including 750 in each of the state’s three congressional districts. Osborn said his campaign gathered roughly 12,500 signatures to give to the Secretary of State.
“We wanted to create a coalition in the state of Nebraska [that] has never seen before … under one umbrella with the idea and the truth that working class people deserve a seat at the table in the United States Senate,” Osborn said during a press conference at the Cornhusker Hotel Thursday morning.
Unlike in his 2024 bid against U.S. Sen. Deb Fischer, R-Neb., Osborn is a known commodity and in the crosshairs of national and state Republicans. Also, Nebraska Democrats are clearing the field for Osborn this time around.
