Austen Campbell was the Deputy Finance Director for independent Senate candidate Dan Osborn, whose grassroots campaign in Nebraska turned a presumed Republican stronghold into a competitive race - scaring the GOP establishment in the process.

As Osborn climbed in the polls, Campbell saw firsthand how the right independent candidate could channel growing frustration with the two-party system and address important issues Washington has ignored for years.

Now, Campbell has launched the Independent National Coalition, a new organization aiming to support independent House candidates, with the goal of denying both parties a majority and shifting power back to the voters.

In this episode, we explore what he learned from the Osborn campaign, how the Independent National Coalition plans to strategically challenge entrenched incumbents, and what it would mean to bring a true balance of power to Congress.
