Math teacher running for Congress to bring down costs, take on corruption, and invest in small towns across Southern Minnesota (MN-01). Funded by people, not corporate PACs. Join us: https://www.jakejohnsonforcongress.com/

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.

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!

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.

🚨 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.

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.

🚨 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.

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.
