U.S. Senate candidate Dan Osborn – Screencap of YouTube video.

Dan Osborn is the supposed independent senate candidate in Nebraska who keeps getting caught revealing himself to have far left views.

He has used his campaign to claim that he and his family are suffering financial hardship, yet he has allegedly paid members of his family a cool $500,000 from his campaign.

You may have noticed that the liberal media is not touching any of this. Isn’t that interesting?

FOX News reports:

Senate hopeful’s ‘treading water’ narrative crumbles under $500K campaign payouts to family

Independent Senate candidate Dan Osborn repeatedly said his family is “treading water” financially because of rising grocery and gas prices last week, but federal campaign finance records show his campaign has paid more than $500,000 to members of his family since launching his Senate bid.

Speaking at a Capitol Hill press conference on Sept. 24, Osborn said, “My family, we’re treading water here, and it feels like every day it’s hard to keep your head above water” because of the economy and rising grocery and gas prices.

Later that day, during an NBC News interview, he made nearly identical remarks, again describing his family as “treading water.”

Americans for Public Trust, a government ethics watchdog that has previously scrutinized Osborn’s campaign spending, estimates Osborn and members of his family received nearly $480,000 from his campaign and affiliated PACs through the first quarter of 2026. The organization told Fox News Digital that figure does not include additional campaign spending disclosed in Osborn’s second-quarter filing, which was filed in July. Fox News Digital’s review of that filing found additional payments to family members that pushed the total above $500,000.

The largest share of those payments went to Osborn’s wife, Megan Osborn, who has worked for the campaign since its launch.

Here’s hoping the people of Nebraska see this before November.

When people on the left say they want to ‘get’ big money out of politics, we didn’t think they meant it literally.
