LINCOLN — Registered nonpartisan U.S. Senate candidate Dan Osborn outraised incumbent Republican U.S. Sen. Pete Ricketts, a former two-term governor, by roughly $200,000 in the first quarter.

But Ricketts remains ahead in the total raised and campaign cash on hand.

Osborn’s campaign raised $1.2 million in the first three months of the year, while Ricketts raised roughly $1 million for his campaign. Ricketts also has raised six-figure amounts using other PACs and committees that can be used for campaigning or campaign-adjacent activities.

To date for this election cycle, Ricketts has raised $4.2 million, and Osborn $2.3 million. Osborn has $939,146 cash on hand. Ricketts has $1.6 million, including from his Ricketts Victory Committee, a joint fundraising committee that invests in candidates and PACs for Ricketts and other conservative candidates.

1. I like how this race is flying under the radar

If Pete really feels threatened, buckets of cash will get dumped into this race and I’ll have to hear about trans kids 24/7.
