I'm proud to be endorsed by Beth Benike, a 10-year Army veteran and the 2025 Minnesota Small Business Person of the Year, who couldn't even get a meeting with Congressman Finstad as he voted for tariffs that harmed her small business.

We need a congressman who'll support our small business owners, not refuse to meet with them and then vote for massive tariffs that threaten to wipe them out. In Congress, I'll vote against these tariffs and work to make sure that southern Minnesota's small businesses have what they need to thrive.
Vikings prediction today is short and sweet. Flores defense slows Caleb Williams and Ben Johnson enough for Chill Will to kick a game winning field goal as time expires. Vikings 24 Bears 23
Historic flooding hit the New Richland area today, shutting down roadways and damaging folks' homes and businesses.
I visited Bleed Heart Floral in the Mazeppa area this week, and I listened to their concerns with the proposed massive 765kW power line that would run right through their farm and surrounding community, likely putting them out of business.
We've held a public, in-person town hall meeting in each of the 21 counties in our district, but why stop there? We're going for extra credit! I'll be in Harmony next Saturday at 6pm to hear unscreened, unfiltered questions from an audience open to EVERYONE. See you there!
You can vote TODAY! Head to VoteEarlyMN.com to find your early voting location, then go do it. Remember, every day until November 3rd is Election Day, so don't wait!
Another debate is on! This means there'll be one on October 8th, aired by KEYC and KTTC, and then another on October 13th, aired by KAAL.
Great to be at the Main Street Alliance CD1 Candidate Forum last night in Red Wing!
We need a REAL ban on stock trading for members of Congress and the executive branch, including their families. It's time to stop them from lining their own pockets at the public's expense.
We can protect and fund Social Security for many more decades if we just make high income earners pay as much as we do.
I'm running for Congress to bring down costs, fight corruption, and invest in our small towns, and I'll collaborate with anyone, regardless of party, to do it.

Congress seems to have forgotten that they work for us and not their party leaders and corporate donors. This November, let's remind them who the real bosses are.
🚨 OUR SECOND AD JUST DROPPED 🚨 Congressman Finstad took tens of thousands of dollars from a Chinese state-owned corporation and data center companies, and then voted to help them at our expense. I won't take any money from corporations, and I'll work for us in Minnesota, not for China or Big Tech.
What a game! Fourth quarter was insane, and my 41-17 prediction from yesterday didn't end up looking too bad in the end. SKOL!
Wishing a sweet and peaceful new year to everyone celebrating Rosh Hashanah in southern Minnesota and beyond. Shanah Tovah!
Twenty-five years ago this morning, our country was attacked. We still mourn the nearly 3,000 people we lost, and we honor the first responders who ran towards the danger, many of whom paid the ultimate price. (1/2)
It's Red, White, and Blue, not Red versus Blue. I've got no interest in serving national party leaders who don't know a thing about southern Minnesota. Which is unfortunately what Congressman Finstad did when he went to Washington.
Great to be in Winona yesterday to listen and answer questions about how I would combat the high cost and lack of availability of housing in towns all across southern Minnesota.
🚨 OUR FIRST AD JUST DROPPED 🚨 I'm Jake Johnson, the math teacher and father of four running for Congress to make things cheaper, fight corruption, and invest in our small towns. Watch our first ad here:
Our campaign is all about standing up for hardworking families. I’m proud to have the support of the Minnesota State Council of Machinists as we fight for lower costs, higher pay, and better working conditions for the people of southern Minnesota.
Today, I celebrated Labor Day the right way at the UFCW Picnic in Austin! I had a lot of great conversations, and the common thread was that everything has become too expensive for hardworking families.
Happy Labor Day! I’m so proud to have the support of unions across our district and state, and I’ll always stand with working families here in southern Minnesota.
On this Labor Day, I'm proud to share that I've just been endorsed by United Steelworkers District 11. USW is the largest industrial union in North America, representing ~850,000 workers and retirees, including iron ore miners, manufacturing workers, and health care workers.
If you send me to Congress this November, then both Nancy Pelosi and Brad Finstad won’t be there next year. That would be a win for us, and a loss for the corporate donors who are building data centers, raising gas prices, and profiting off endless wars.
Thank you to everyone who joined our two community roundtables in Faribault today! It was a productive morning hearing concerns about a range of topics, such as healthcare and education.
I was honored and humbled to see this beautiful piece in The New Ulm Journal yesterday. Thank you for your faith, Sarah.
