Meet Dan Osborn
My name is Dan Osborn and I’m running for U.S. Senate in Nebraska. Every day, I roll up my sleeves and get to work, fixing what needs fixed. No institution in America needs fixing more than the United States Senate. I'll bring Nebraskan values to Washington, with a work ethic honed by my years as a Navy man, a Nebraska National Guardsman, an industrial mechanic, a union leader, a husband, and a father.
Dan graduated from Roncalli Catholic High School in 1994. Following in his father’s footsteps Dan joined the United States Navy and served for 4 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, TN, serving 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 remain open through 2026.
He lives in Omaha with his wife and children.
U.S. Senators write and vote on federal laws. Each state has two senators, who serve six-year terms. Only the Senate confirms the President's nominees for judges and the cabinet, approves treaties, and holds impeachment trials.
