  We present a sample of 305 QSO candidates having $|b| < 30^{\circ}$, the
majority with GALEX magnitudes NUV < 18.75. To generate this sample, we apply
UV-IR color selection criteria to photometric data from the Ultraviolet
GAlactic Plane Survey (UVGAPS) as part of GALEX-CAUSE, the Million Quasars
Catalog, Gaia DR2, and Pan-STARRS DR1. 165 of these 305 candidate UV-bright AGN
(54%) have published spectroscopic redshifts from 45 different surveys,
confirming them as AGN. We further obtained low-dispersion, optical, longslit
spectra with the APO 3.5-m, MDM 2.4-m, and MDM 1.3-m telescopes for 84 of the
candidates, and confirm 86% (N = 72) as AGN, generally with z < 0.6. These
sources fill a gap in the Galactic latitude coverage of the available samples
of known UV-bright QSO background probes. Along with a description of the
confirmed QSO properties, we provide the fully-reduced, flux and
wavelength-calibrated spectra of 84 low-latitude QSOs through the Mikulski
Archive for Space Telescopes. Future HST/COS spectroscopy of these
low-Galactic-latitude QSOs has the potential to transform our view of the Milky
Way and Local Group circumgalactic medium.
