LINCOLN — Nebraskans could face an unusual choice this November, between Republican U.S. Sen. Deb Fischer, R-Neb., and a nonpartisan instead of a Democrat, barring an earthquake upset during a mismatched GOP primary election in May.

Omaha union leader Dan Osborn has raised $500,000 for his outside bid against Fischer, who has the most cash on hand of anyone in the Nebraska congressional delegation. The 2024 race has no Democratic candidate and only a last-minute Republican challenger, perennial candidate Arron Kowalski.

Fischer is seeking a third term despite saying during her first run for Congress that she would stop at two terms. She says she has learned the value of seniority from Senate leaders who demand D.C. experience to accomplish much in Congress’ more deliberative body.

“I served under term limits in the Nebraska Legislature, but that’s not how the Senate works,” she told the Examiner. “Nebraska is at a disadvantage if we don’t have seniority.”
