"What a wonderful life I've had! I only wish I had realized it sooner." Colette (1873-1954-Paris, France) Voted for George McGovern in 1972, first election that I was eligible to vote. Never voted Republican. No DM'S please

MINNESOTA — Keith Ellison didn't bring a knife to a legal fight. 🔥 He brought the whole damn law library. ⚖️🔥 Attorney General. Former Congressman. Civil-rights attorney. When he believes the law's been crossed, he doesn't just bitch about it. He goes to COURT. Know the name. 🔥 #SheShed

🚨 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.

I'm voting for Jake Johnson. He's honest. He's a hard worker. He wants to meet with the people in his district. And he actually wants to help us, and not himself. Brad Finstad has benefitted bigly financially from bills that he has supported. He could care less about anyone who is not a corportion.

We have some more good news to share. Inside Elections, a nonpartisan race rater, just moved Minnesota's 1st District in our direction, the latest sign that Brad Finstad is facing the toughest race of his political career.

Minn. 1st District Rep. Brad Finstad has held a total of four telephone town halls in 2025, with no in-person town halls reported during that time. Another chicken-shit Republican afraid to meet with voters 1 on 1. The DFL-endorsed candidate for Minnesota's 1st Congressional District is Jake Johnson

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.

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.

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.

#Flashback Sept 30 2023 #RepFinstad said "With federal spending at an all-time high and our national deficit at nearly $33 trillion, it is clear that we cannot afford to continue Washington’s pattern of reckless spending that will leave our children and grandchildren bankrupt" It is $40 TRILLION

Jake Johnson@jakejohnsonmn.bsky.social · last mo.

The national debt just crossed $40 trillion, and we, the taxpayers, are now paying a trillion dollars every year just to pay off the INTEREST on that debt. That’s money that can’t be spent on education, healthcare, or tax cuts for working families.

Lisa Demuth was asked whether she'd be beholden to her Wisconsin billionaire bankrolling her. She wouldn't say "no" -- probably because he is funding the overwhelming majority of her ads, with $4 million and climbing.

Brad Finstad has been in Congress representing southern Minnesota, and in that time, he's built a record of taking corporate PAC money and answering to national party leadership instead of the families back home. Nearly half of his campaign is funded by PAC contributions.

Dear Camille, Sorry that you haven't met #BradFinstad Apparently you are not a multi-millionaire (like him) or an employee of his (who are featured in commercials promoting his campaign). But you are not alone, #RepFinstad did NOT even make an appearance at the Bavarian Blast Parade (Johnson was)

I’ve never seen the man. I’ve never met the man . Jake Johnson has showed up at every event I’ve been to locally and I’ve met him and spoken with him. Now I know why everywhere I go, I see signs that say where is Brad?

#FinstadWatch As #RepFinstad has acknowledge, he represents 700,000 people in #MN01 and the company that the TAXPAYERS paid for #TeleTownHall services can handle 20,000; WHY were only 4,200 invited? WHO got the invite? #Finstad is on "District Work Period" 9/3 thru 9/13, WHY NOT a Real #TownHall?

Congressman Finstad, if you ever want to know what a public, in-person town hall looks like, feel free to reach out! I've got 21 examples to share with you.
