That is Big Pharma and tobacco lobbyist Ben Golnik, who is also one of Lisa Demuth’s top advisors. He's running her operation, from her press conferences to her convention operation. Just like Demuth, he has spent his career fighting on the side of Big Pharma to keep prescription drug costs high.

In Brad's latest mailing "Finstad in the Field" he brags about securing $3.5 mill for the Mankato airport & states that MKT is the 2nd busiest airport in Minnesota for take offs & landings, FACT CHECK-there are NO COMMERCIAL AIRLINES that use MKT. Only air traffic are private aviators & CROP DUSTERS

Army vet Beth Benike says Brad Finstad wouldn't meet with her about the tariffs he backed. Then his ad erased her from a photo and pasted in Tim Walz. He's a liar. The doctored photo is the receipt. #politicalcartoon #satire #editorialcartoon #mn01
Editorial cartoon. Rep. Brad Finstad grins as he scrubs a giant pink eraser labeled "CAMPAIGN AD DEPT." across a photo of Democrat Jake Johnson giving a thumbs-up beside a woman labeled "BETH — CONSTITUENT," who is half erased. A paper cut-out of Gov. Tim Walz waits nearby with a note reading "PASTE HERE." Behind him is a stack of letters marked "MEETING REQUEST — BETH, BUSY BABY," each stamped "DECLINED." Caption: "FINSTAD FINALLY MAKES TIME FOR A CONSTITUENT."
