Nebraska Senate candidate Dan Osborn has restructured his campaign organization following a complaint alleging improper financial arrangements with family members.

The complaint alleged that Osborn's campaign operation steered money to his wife and other relatives through political action committees and consulting firms, according to reports.

Osborn has defended the payments, stating that his wife, described as a former bar manager, has played an instrumental role in his campaign operations. He has maintained that all payments to family members were made at fair-market value rates.

The restructuring comes as Osborn seeks to address concerns raised in the complaint about the campaign's financial practices. Details about the specific changes made to the campaign structure were not immediately available.

Campaign finance laws generally allow payments to family members for legitimate services, provided they are compensated at rates comparable to what non-family members would receive for similar work.
