🚨 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:
This Veterans Day, take some time to reflect on the sacrifice that our nation's veterans have made in their service to our country. I will always continue meeting with and listening to veterans across southern Minnesota, and I will always advocate for our veterans in the halls of Congress.
Our campaign showed up everywhere, hosting a public town hall in every one of our 21 counties. And this year, every single county moved in our direction.
Here is the statement that our campaign issued in response to Brad Finstad’s statement about a recount in the congressional race:
Thank you to everyone who joined us for my victory speech last night! I'm grateful to everyone who put a piece of their life into this campaign and helped carry us across the finish line. Now we get to work for the people of southern Minnesota.
I was just sent a letter from Paul Sween, the former Chairman of the Mower County Republicans, who asks readers to think about the future that Brad Finstad is creating with his votes for tariffs, wars, and healthcare cuts.
If you're still thinking about who to support in this race, I hope you'll give it a read and then head to the polls before 8PM: pollfinder.sos.mn.gov/
Today's the day! You have until 8PM tonight to get to your polling place and cast your ballot for a different kind of representation in Congress. Find where to vote at pollfinder.sos.mn.gov

Great to be in Faribault today hyping up volunteers before they talked to folks about our campaign! For the past 18 months, our campaign has gone everywhere to talk to everyone about our mission to lower costs, tackle corruption, and invest in small towns. Not slowing down now! – at Faribault, MN
A little bit of rain and wind couldn’t stop us from talking to folks in Waseca today! This group of volunteers braved the weather to share our pragmatic vision of bringing costs down, taking on corruption, and investing in our small towns.
Dropped by the hardware store in New Richland this morning and stopped to check out some signs that local Independent voters decided to make on their own! Our campaign has been showing up everywhere and talking to everyone, and it’s clear that our message is bringing together Republicans, Independents, and Democrats to build something better for southern Minnesota.
Started out the day in Waseca today! Had a fantastic breakfast at the Pheasant Cafe, where I had some great conversations with local farmers about my plans to tackle the rampant fraud we've seen in Minnesota. Then I went over to the public safety center and heard from local law enforcement about the need for more resources to deal with mental health problems in rural communities.
My closing message to you.
To the people of southern Minnesota: thank you for sharing your stories with me over the past 18 months. This Tuesday, I hope you’ll give me the chance to fight for our home in Congress.
Happy Halloween from our family to yours! Nothing beats spending a little time carving pumpkins with my boys, it's one of my favorite holiday traditions.
I enjoyed stopping by the farmers market in Worthington today, where I picked up some delicious jam and salsa! I also visited a local thrift store and heard about how unnecessary regulations are making it harder for them to run a small business. In Congress, I’ll work to cut red tape and help small businesses thrive right here in southern Minnesota.
We had a fantastic time in Worthington today talking about our campaign to bring down costs, from gas to groceries and everything in between.
It’s time to stop the tariffs and Iran War, and focus on real investments in southern Minnesota instead.
We’re back in Luverne today talking about our campaign to make life cheaper and easier in southern Minnesota. A little bit of rain can’t stop us from getting the word out about the election this Tuesday!
So many Republicans, Democrats, and independents support our campaign because I’m the only candidate in this race willing to fight the data centers being forced into our communities. Finstad's siding with the data center developers funding his campaign, and I'm siding with you.
