One candidate in the close Nebraska Senate race has found himself at the center of numerous controversies weeks before Election Day.
Democrat-turned-Independent Dan Osborn, 49, is denying allegations that he was exposed for being on Ashley Madison, despite being married to his wife of 22 years, Megan, with whom he shares three children.
An email directly connected to Osborn was used to sign up for the infamous affair website Ashley Madison, DailyMail.com has learned.
The dating website is well known for facilitating extramarital affairs. It was created in 2001 with the slogan 'life is short, have an affair' with over 37 million unfaithful spouses taking the bait.
His email linked to his birth date and public address was among the thousands compromised in a now-infamous 2015 Ashley Madison hack, according to documents.
The couple tied the knot in 2002, Osborn indicated on a podcast earlier this year. DailyMail.com reached out to the Osborn campaign and his wife to comment on the claims his email was found on the site.
His campaign denies that Osborn ever 'used Ashley
Madison.' But the candidate had access to the email - a 'shared corporate account' that 'multiple people' used.
Osborn, a Catholic, is weathering other rumored scandals too. He had access to a Twitter account that was previously caught liking explicit gay porn and pictures of naked girls on X, screenshots obtained by DailyMail.com show.

Your browser does not support iframes.The screenshots - too graphic to be posted in full - in addition to the Ashley Madison account could create rocky campaign conditions for the Independent as he has recently gained the edge over his opponent.
Just last week, a SurveyUSA poll found Osborn is ahead of GOP incumbent Sen. Deb Fischer by one point.
Fischer has held the office for over a decade and Osborn has proved to be one of her most competitive challengers yet.
But these new revelations may have an impact on the rising Independent star's campaign.His campaign has not explained why Osborn's email was found among those involved in the cheating site Ashley Madison's 2015 data breach.
The email, which according to online records is affiliated with Osborn, can be found by searching databases containing account information from that breach.
That account is 'found' among the data hacked from Ashley Madison, the third-party site claims.It should be noted that the email being in the database does not necessarily indicate that Osborn himself signed up, someone else could have on his behalf, but it was found in the cheating site's files.
Osborn's campaign is also denying that he 'liked' gay pornography on Twitter, now X, between 2020 and 2021.
But they confirmed that Osborn had access to the account 'BCTGM 50G Union President' along with 'multiple people.'

'The account in question was the account of the BCTGM 50G Union President. Multiple people had access to this account and had the ability to like Tweets. Dan did not like these tweets,' said a spokesperson.
Screenshots of the former labor leader's X account show that he liked multiple posts using his clearly denoted and unmistakable username 'Dan Osborn President BCTGM 50G' liked sexual content.
The screenshots of his likes on X were taken in mid 2023. The numbers at the end of the online medium readings free handle are the numbers for the union that Osborn used to lead.According to Osborn's campaign site: 'Dan rose to the presidency of his union, BCTGM 50G.'An email allegedly affiliated with Dan Osborn was found to be among those exposed in a hack of the cheating website Ashley Madison

That included a tweet from February 19, 2020 containing a video of three men having sex, according to the screenshots.
The clip linked to the websites of several gay OnlyFans creators featured in the video. 'Afternoon f*** with my friend #gay #anal #sex #assworhip #f***myhole #analdreams #bisexual #pansexual,' another post from September 17, 2020, said.
It featured a video of two people having sex. Another post Osborn apparently liked was from the account 'Hotties Promo 100k' on August 15, 2020.
Another post liked from the same account shows a women completely exposed from the waist downThe image shows a woman naked from the waist down bending over from behind completely exposing herself before the camera. It includes a link to the woman's OnlyFans account.
A September 30, 2020 post from that same account, also liked by the account linked to Osborn, shows four pictures of a woman suggestively gazing on.
This post also includes links to the woman's personal content accounts. Republicans were quick to slam Osborn over the revelations. 'This reporting is shocking,' Mike Berg, Communications Director for the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC), told DailyMail.com.
'Dan Osborn is married with kids, so of course he doesn't want to admit that he made an online profile to cheat on his wife or that he spends his free time on social media liking hardcore gay porn.'
'With that said, the evidence Osborn did make an Ashley Madison profile and was liking raunchy gay porn on the internet is pretty damning,' Berg added. 'I'm praying for Dan Osborn's family.'
Osborn recently flew to Los Angeles to hold a fundraiser and to visit his oldest daughter, 21-year-old Georgia Osborn, who works as a 'gothic exotic dancer' in Hollywood.
