Dan Osborn Is Ready to Mount an Even Bolder Campaign Against Our Billionaire-Dominated Politics
Briefly

Dan Osborn is running an independent campaign for the US Senate in November 2026, targeting both the corruption of billionaire-funded politics and incumbent Republican senator Pete Ricketts. Osborn criticizes the influence of wealthy donors on democracy and highlights the growing disparity between ordinary Americans and the affluent elite. He expresses frustration over the recent legislation that favors the wealthy at the expense of essential social programs. Osborn argues that the economic system should not be governed by wealthy financiers but should focus on the needs of working individuals.
I'm tired of being ruled by billionaires who don't know what life is like for normal working people, expressing a frustration that has been mounting among Americans who are struggling to pay their bills while a new class of oligarchs is accumulating so much wealth that there is now open speculation about which billionaire will become the world's first trillionaire.
I don't believe private financiers should run the American economy, and who illustrates his concern with a simple question: Do you really think Pete Ricketts, whose family has amassed billions, understands the struggles of everyday Americans?
