🚨OUR NEWEST AD JUST DROPPED🚨 Congressman Finstad said he'd balance the budget, but then he voted to increase the national debt by nearly $5 trillion and to spend $2 billion per day on the Iran War.

We need a balanced budget amendment now to stop both parties from spending recklessly and sticking our kids with the bill.

Congressman Finstad took tens of thousands of dollars from a Chinese state-owned corporation, and then voted to protect them from lawsuits and make it easier for them to buy more of our farmland.

It's part of a broader pattern of policy decisions that Finstad has supported which have helped China over Minnesota. In Congress, I won't take money from corporations, and I'll always choose Minnesota over China.

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 representative who will lower costs and listen to their constituents, not dodge them while making everything more expensive.

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 drove out to see the damage firsthand and met with city officials to learn more about the potential investments that would prevent this from happening in the future, including infrastructure to reroute built-up groundwater.

My prayers are with everyone affected by flooding across southern Minnesota, and I'm grateful for the insights I look forward to bringing to the halls of Congress.

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.

I'm deeply concerned about how this project is being undertaken, especially with local voices not being incorporated appropriately. We need a far more thoughtful process around how we can build new energy infrastructure without destroying our way of life.

Thank you to the folks at Bleed Heart for having me, so that I can carry your voices with me to Washington.
