Finstad has launched his fake attack ads against me, and we can't afford to respond to them all. That's why I need your help. We need to knock 25,000 doors this month to get out the truth about our campaign's goals: to lower costs, fight corruption, and invest in our small towns.

The 2025 budget law cut SNAP by $187 billion — about 20%, the largest cut the program has ever taken. Six of these eight Republicans voted for it. Between them they co-chaired the hunger caucus, chair...

Amazing commercial from #FinstadForCongress ... throwing down a ten spot at a bar ... giving #MN01 viewers the impression that he is NOT a multi-millionaire instead he is just one of the boys ... so why is #RepFinstad afraid to hold in person open-to-the-public #TownHalls ? x.com/BradFinstad/...

Before this month closes out, I want to ask you a simple question: who does Brad Finstad actually work for? Because it's not us. Finstad has built his career taking money from corporate PACs and listening to them, instead of the families and farmers he's supposed to represent.

When it's family farmers and workers here in southern Minnesota who need someone fighting for them, he's been a lot harder to find. That's the pattern with Brad Finstad. He shows up for the people writing the checks. He doesn't show up for the people he's supposed to answer to.
