Jim Read

Candidate for Minnesota House in District 13A. College teacher, believer in door to door, face to face politics. Running as a Democrat. I will talk with anyone.

I want to thank everyone who supported my campaign for the Minnesota House. Pia and I put every ounce of skill and energy we had into this. I wish we could have brought back better results. Our one important... https://t.co/xbRnfCQ65R

How is this ok? A candidate for MN Senate that suggests taking voting rights away in a district where so many students are an integral part of the community. https://t.co/mRtdicW6IZ

[Jim Read @jimreadforrep]

@MelisaFranzen @sallyjos I hope every college student everywhere reads this. I think far more young voters would turn out if they realized that some people in power want to prevent from voting.

[Jim Read @jimreadforrep]

Today's campaign priorities: GOTV doorknocking, and data work. To volunteer, come to our campaign office, 21 First Ave NW in St. Joseph, or email [email protected].

Three more days! Let's make them count.

[Jim Read @jimreadforrep]

[Jim Read @jimreadforrep]

Here is my letter in the St. Cloud Times responding to some last-minute smears, and urging voters to turn these attacks around. Show up and voting against this kind of politics. #mnleg https://t.co/kLfmfZybCg

This week's attack mailers: "Jim Read will feed taxpayer-funded steak and lobster to illegal immigrant drug gangs who are blocking freeways and throwing Molotov cocktails at your grandmother in the nursing home."
Doorstep democracy, or robotic smears? The choice is yours. #mnleg

[Jim Read @jimreadforrep]

This week our volunteers wrote and mailed thousands of handwritten postcards to voters I had talked with in my door to door visits. To my volunteers: you are awesome.

Also this week, dark-money funded PACs have... https://t.co/fwLHhh0xt4

This past week I've been making a second pass through several places I doorknocked last December and January. Many voters who were undecided on my first visit have now declared their support, and I'm getting good... https://t.co/WPNA7Zbk9W

[Jim Read @jimreadforrep]

This past week: making second pass through places I doorknocked in January. Many undecideds on first visit now declaring support. Good reception from those who weren't home in round 1. "I got your mailing," said in a positive sense. I like my chances.#mnleg #HD13A @Stay_Resolute
