Dan Osborn Launches Working Class Heroes PAC

Dan Osborn, a former union leader and independent Senate candidate from Nebraska, has launched the Working Class Heroes Fund, a political action committee aimed at supporting working-class candidates across party lines. Osborn, who ran a competitive Senate campaign against Deb Fischer, emphasizes the need for campaign finance reform and aims to bring more working-class perspectives to politics. The PAC will support candidates such as teachers, nurses, and veterans, advocating for labor unions and policies that benefit working-class citizens. Despite his loss, Osborn's campaign highlighted potential for independent candidates appealing to both moderate and conservative voters disillusioned with mainstream parties. Osborn, who overperformed expectations in Nebraska, aims to challenge the influence of wealth in politics and is considering another Senate run. His PAC will vet candidates individually, focusing on those willing to eschew corporate donations.
