Marvin Drops Out, Backs Osborn | Lincoln News

Mike Marvin, the Legal Marijuana Now Party’s Senate candidate who dropped out due to health issues, is now backing nonpartisan challenger Dan Osborn in Nebraska’s heated Senate race against Republican Pete Ricketts — a move that deepens controversy after Marvin was accused of being a “plant” for Osborn, despite denying it. The endorsement comes amid revelations that Osborn’s staffers tried to dissolve the marijuana party last year, and adds fuel to claims after former Democratic candidate Cindy Burbank paid Marvin’s filing fee before withdrawing from the race. With Marvin technically still on the ballot but no longer campaigning, the race may simplify into a head-to-head between Osborn and Ricketts — while the Nebraska Democratic Party battles its own legal hurdles over Osborn’s eligibility. Election Day is November 3rd.
