Background

Cornhusker Majority is a Super PAC formed on 10 September 2026 in Nebraska. Its first report to the FEC lists a single receipt, $7.5m from SLF PAC on 15 September. By 30 September it had reported $4.75m of Independent spending, every line against independent Dan Osborn, and held $2.61m.

Osborn, who runs without a party label, is challenging Republican Senator Pete Ricketts. Cook Political Report moved the race from Safe to Likely Republican in April. In the whole third quarter Osborn's own campaign spent $4.21m, less than Cornhusker Majority spent in three weeks.

The committee is one of several SLF-funded groups carrying a state's name in 2026. In Texas, TEXAS PAC's ads ran for weeks before it named SLF as its donor. SLF draws on many donors, so the filings do not trace any one of them to Cornhusker Majority.
