Independent Nebraska Senate Candidate Receives Funds From Democratic Donors

The agency assisting with his digital campaign, Fight Agency, was founded by a group of Democratic Party strategists including consultants for Bernie Sanders' 2016 presidential campaign and the winning Senate bid for Pennsylvania Democratic Sen. John Fetterman and Arizona Democratic Rep.

Ruben Gallego. The agency works with clients such as New York City socialist Mayor Zohran Mamdani, Bernie Sanders and progressive Democrat Rep. Greg Casar.

An ad buying firm for Osborn's hybrid PAC, the Working Class Heroes Fund, has clients that include Jasmine Crockett, the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, Sen. Cory Booker, D-N.J., and many other Democrats or Democrat-affiliated groups. Chairwoman of the Nebraska Republican Party Mary Jane Truemper told Fox News Digital that Osborn has been seen cozying up to elite Washington Democrats.

She stated that if his actions indicate anything it is that he will not keep his promise of not caucusing with either party. Fox News Digital reached out to the Osborn campaign about the donations but did not receive a response. Osborn has promised that if elected he will not caucus with either major party.

His campaign website states he will be uniquely positioned to bring together a majority to address issues including securing the border from illegal immigration. At a town hall last year Osborn reportedly told attendees that if his bid as an independent did not work out there is only one party he would caucus with.

" Ricketts is the current Republican incumbent U.S. Senator from Nebraska. National Republican Senatorial Committee spokesperson Nick Puglia told Fox News Digital that Osborn is a fake independent backed by radical leftists. He said it is no surprise that Osborn’s campaign is being bankrolled by Democrats and ActBlue donors.

Osborn is running for a second election in a row to be a U.S. Senator after losing in 2024. He is running against Sen. Deb Fischer, R-Neb.
