Dan Osborn graduated from Roncalli Catholic High School in 1994. He served four years in the U.S. Navy as a storekeeper aboard the USS Constellation, then served in the Nebraska Army National Guard and later the Tennessee National Guard. In 2004 he began work as an industrial mechanic at the Kellogg's plant in Omaha, and he rose to president of his union, BCTGM Local 50G. He led the 2021 Kellogg's strike in Omaha, which his campaign says defeated proposed benefit cuts and kept the plant open. He lives in Omaha.
