Worth supporting: Dan Osborn for U.S. Senate

Why he matters: Dan Osborn is a Navy veteran, Nebraska National Guardsman, industrial mechanic, and union leader running as an independent who answers to Nebraskans — not party bosses. He's proof that you don't have to pick a team in Washington to fight for working people, family farms, and a Senate that actually gets things done.

His focus:

• Tax cuts for the middle class and small businesses — without raising the deficit
• Protecting Social Security: no benefit cuts, no raising the retirement age
• Right to Repair for farm equipment, vehicles, and electronics
• Reinstating Country of Origin Labeling (MCOOL) and busting up meatpacking monopolies
• Raising the federal minimum wage to match Nebraska's level
• Fully funding the VA and raising military pay
• Passing the PRO Act to strengthen workers' rights
• Congressional term limits and ranked choice voting
• Keeping government out of people's private lives
