Fischer attacks Osborn as threat to GOP push for Senate control

OMAHA — U.S. Sen. Deb Fischer, who has largely ignored her campaign opponent until recently, called a press conference Thursday and criticized former Omaha union leader Dan Osborn as a nationally backed threat to a possible Republican majority in the Senate.

Fischer, a two-term Republican from Lincoln whose family owns a ranch near Valentine, was joined by supporters who touted her record of voting for infrastructure investments, agricultural interests and national defense, among other things.

“I worked hard to earn the trust and the support of Nebraskans,” Fischer said. “I have a record. I have a voting record. … Nebraskans right now are just finding out who my opponent is and what my opponent stands for.”

Heineman, others rally GOP base for Fischer

Longtime Fischer supporter Gov. Dave Heineman repeated the line from one of Fischer’s latest ads about Osborn — the allegation he denies that he is a supporter of Vermont U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders, an independent who caucuses with the Democrats.

Republicans don't freak out like this without a reason.

I've made it a priority to send small amounts repeatedly to these critical down ballot races.
