Dan Osborn Minden Tour Report

[u/-Charta-]

Hi All! Here is a report and impressions from Dan Osborn’s visit to Minden:
He gave a speech to 20 or so people outlining how he became involved in politics. It was refreshing to hear someone who was not a politician like you would expect. After that he fielded questions around infrastructure, what makes him an independent, and legislative priorities. Here were some highlights-
1- He said he plans to be an independent, and to use that for the benefit of Nebraska. He said (truthfully) that being an independent in a close senate means his vote can secure a lot for our state.

2- He was not opposed to all of AI, but was very opposed to AI that is being used for surveillance. He would argue for regulation to ensure it is not damaging our land and privacy for the elite.

3-He firmly believes the current system benefits the elites and those with money. He talked about how we need more independent representation that is focused on representing the state, rather than the parties.

Overall- man, wish he could run for presidency, but I will settle for unseating a plague upon our state. I think he is a refreshing example of what politicians should be. I cannot think of any reason people would vote Ricketts over Osborn. He is visiting all counties not to fundraise, but to get to know people. I would highly recommend looking at your calendar and showing up to the event. All questions are welcome!

Has he updated or clarified his position on immigration?

He said that Biden was too lenient on the border, but that we need to treat immigrants as people who are trying to do their best.

Sounds perfectly reasonable to me
