🚨 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:

I was in Red Wing yesterday getting folks excited about talking to their neighbors about this campaign and this election! I'm so thankful for volunteers who are working hard to make life cheaper and easier in southern Minnesota.

[Jake Johnson @JakeJohnsonMN]

Community and technical colleges play a vital role in building our future workforce, and they deserve a champion in Congress who will fight for the funding they need. Grateful for the tour and the ping pong too!

[Jake Johnson @JakeJohnsonMN]

It was great to visit Minnesota State College Southeast in Red Wing yesterday, where I learned more about the unique opportunities they're making available to students, especially in the trades.

[Jake Johnson @JakeJohnsonMN]

Senator Klobuchar’s commitment to showing up everywhere, listening to people, and actually delivering results has been an inspiration for our campaign. It was fantastic to talk about that with everyone last night.

8 days to victory!

[Jake Johnson @JakeJohnsonMN]

So great to be in Fairmont last night with our next governor @amyklobuchar!

Fairmont is where we launched our campaign, so it was especially meaningful to be back to kick off the final stretch.

Doesn’t matter how we did it. 6-0. SKOL.

[Jake Johnson @JakeJohnsonMN]

@CallmeAL21 They definitely should've released them. Politicians from both parties are responsible for these crimes and for the cover-up. I think everyone implicated in those files should be investigated and sent to prison.

[Jake Johnson @JakeJohnsonMN]

Yesterday, I called for abusers in the Epstein Files to be imprisoned. Today, Donald Trump just dumped over $1 million in attack ads against me. If you want a representative that the Epstein Class is scared of, be sure to vote by November 3rd.

[Jake Johnson @JakeJohnsonMN]

@JustinFeikema My guess is that it would've made his powerful friends mad. This is my first time running for office, and I've advocated for the release of the Epstein Files throughout my campaign. I don't care if they implicate Democrats or Republicans. Send all abusers to prison.

[Jake Johnson @JakeJohnsonMN]

@snowta Nope. That was completely wrong.

[Jake Johnson @JakeJohnsonMN]

I don't care if you're rich, powerful, a Democrat, or a Republican. If you abused children, you should be in prison. It's well past time to release the Epstein Files and lock up the abusers.

[Jake Johnson @JakeJohnsonMN]

In Congress, I'll work tirelessly and with anyone to make life cheaper and easier here in southern Minnesota.

[Jake Johnson @JakeJohnsonMN]

I was grateful to be endorsed by the Post Bulletin Editorial Board this morning, following their previous endorsements of my opponent in 2022 and 2024. They see what folks across southern Minnesota are seeing: our congressman doesn't show up, but I do.

[Jake Johnson @JakeJohnsonMN]

[Jake Johnson @JakeJohnsonMN]

After endorsing Finstad in 2022 and 2024, the Post Bulletin endorsed our campaign this morning! I enjoyed reading their explanation for why: Finstad doesn't show up for us, and I actually will.

[Jake Johnson @JakeJohnsonMN]

That's why I released my Taxpayer Protection Pledge with real commitments to help make the math add up in Washington: https://t.co/HtK5kvzODL

[Jake Johnson @JakeJohnsonMN]

The national debt is a massive crisis. We're paying over $1 trillion a year in interest alone, more than double four years ago. Massive deficits every year keep making the problem worse, and no one is taking it seriously.

[Jake Johnson @JakeJohnsonMN]

Read their letter here: https://t.co/Pj1wpAtkgD

[Jake Johnson @JakeJohnsonMN]

Last year, 27 Republican state legislators – including 7 from southern Minnesota – begged Brad Finstad not to make deep cuts to Medicaid. He voted for nearly $1 trillion in cuts anyway, gutting funding for our small towns and rural clinics.

[Jake Johnson @JakeJohnsonMN]

In Congress, I'll stand with local leaders in both parties who know how much this funding matters.
