🚨 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:
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.
A dreary Saturday was no match for us in Worthington! I had a great time enjoying King Turkey Day and meeting lots of folks. Thanks to everyone who walked along with me! – at Worthington, MN
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.
You can read Beth's full opinion here: postbulletin.com/community/l…
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.
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.
