LINCOLN, NE – The Nebraska Democratic Party Chair Jane Kleeb issues the following statement regarding Dan Osborn

For months, the Nebraska Democratic Party has been meeting with Dan Osborn to discuss forming a coalition of voters to defeat Deb Fischer. For months Dan has told the Democratic party that he wants the party’s endorsement and asked us to keep our ballot line open so we could form a coalition. Elections are won by addition not subtraction and today by Dan going back on his word he is telling Democratic voters that he doesn’t want their party’s support. We kept our word to Dan and now that he has betrayed that trust we will put forward a write-in candidate to represent the Democratic Party.
