Deb Fischer has won Nebraska’s Senate race.
Incumbent Republican Senator Deb Fischer faced off and won against Independent challenger Dan Osborn in the race for Nebraska’s Senate seat.
Fischer assumed office in 2013, was a member of the Nebraska Unicameral from 2005 to 2013, and also owns a cattle ranching business in Valentine.
According to her campaign website, Fischer is working hard “to ensure all Nebraskans have opportunities for good paying jobs to support themselves and their families. Deb has led the way in promoting innovation, regulatory reform, and job creation here at home.”
She also highlighted accomplishments as a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee and the Senate Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition, and Forestry.
Nebraska Democrats didn’t nominate a candidate to run in the state’s primary or general election. Osborn said he would not accept their endorsement.
Fischer previously called Osborn “a Democrat in sheep’s clothing.”
Osborn served in the U.S Navy for four years as an SK aboard the U.S.S. Constellation CV-64, going on to join the Nebraska National Guard along with the Tennessee National Guard.
“As a Senator, I won’t just talk about securing the border: as an independent, I’ll be uniquely positioned to bring together a majority to get it done,” Osborn said. “There’s nobody like me in the United States Senate.”
At the time of this report, Fischer won with 52.6% of the vote compared to Osborn’s 47.4%
76% of the expected votes have been counted.
