I do not support extreme national measures to ban abortion. While I respect the moral convictions of all Nebraskans, I believe in limited government and I do not believe the federal government is capable of resolving this issue. Under extreme federal bans, abortion will still happen. We need to focus on the root cause: on reducing unwanted pregnancies.

Democratic leaders said they felt betrayed by Osborn changing course the day after the primary. The timing of his announcement came too late for the state party to add a Democratic candidate to the fall ballot, election officials confirmed.
The party would have needed to run a Democrat in the primary. State party Chair Jane Kleeb said Osborn asked us to keep our ballot line open so we could form a coalition. And the party agreed, in part, because he had enough support for an endorsement, she said.
.... snip...
A clearly frustrated Kleeb said her team and voters from across the political spectrum had been meeting with Osborn for months to discuss ways to defeat U.S. Sen. Deb Fischer, R-Neb.
Elections are won by addition, not subtraction, and today by Dan going back on his word, he is telling Democratic voters that he doesnt want their partys support, Kleeb said. We kept our word to Dan and now that he has betrayed that trust.
... snip...
Osborns move comes after he had sought the backing of the Libertarian Party of Nebraska in March. His supporters also executed a takeover of the Senate ballot slot held by the Legal Marijuana NOW Party, as the Lincoln Journal Star reported first. https://journalstar.com/news/state-regional/government-politics/in-the-nebraska-marijuana-partys-senate-primary-a-daring-plan-angers-loyalists/article_87aa6d96-0e11-11ef-8828-47a8e9f41ecb.html
Kerry Eddy, who won the Legal Marijuana NOW Partys primary Tuesday, posted plans on her campaign website this spring to drop out after the primary and shift her supporters toward Osborn.
