Independent Nebraska Senate candidate Dan Osborn says his campaign is being powered by everyday donors, while Republican opponent Sen. Pete Ricketts is relying heavily on money tied to his wealthy family. Speaking at a press conference, Osborn said his average donation comes from working people. He then pointed to federal campaign finance reports that he says show two Ricketts family accounts supplied about $5.25 million, roughly 80% of the money Ricketts had raised at that point.
