EXCLUSIVE — An independent Senate candidate in Nebraska touted his willingness “to sell my vote for low five figures, max” in a recent fundraising page on his campaign’s website, the Washington Examiner found.
Dan Osborn, a U.S. Navy veteran and industrial mechanic, has mounted an unusually competitive challenge in the Cornhusker State against Sen. Deb Fischer (R-NE). The independent candidate has sought to link Fischer to the “swamp” in Washington, D.C., claiming the Republican “spent 12 years grifting” off corporate influence. At the same time, Osborn is receiving a financial boost in the 2024 election from a dark money group in the nation’s capital , as well as from billionaire Democrat Reid Hoffman.
In a since-deleted Osborn campaign fundraising page, the candidate claimed he was “now accepting corporate PAC funds.”
“While Senator Deb Fischer has taken millions of dollars in corporate PAC funds, I am willing to sell my vote for low five figures, max,” read the page, archived versions of which are available through the online Wayback Machine software between April and September.
