Blink and you might miss the truth. To be clear, I support no taxes on tips, overtime, and social security, as well as more tax cuts for working people. To read more about what I actually believe, go to jakejohnsonforcongress.com/priorities

I'm proud of my work as a math teacher over the past 20 years, and I'm even prouder of the students I've been blessed to teach. Thank you to Dom for his kind words in the Republican Eagle this weekend.

Happy National Sons Day to my four boys! So happy to be their dad, and proud of the stellar young men they're turning into. None of it's possible without their amazing mother!

🚨NEW AD JUST WENT LIVE🚨 I want rural clinics and good schools. Congressman Finstad wants data centers. That's the difference.

Jake Johnson @jakejohnsonmn.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

Congressman Finstad is funded by data center companies and a Chinese state-owned corporation. I'm not. That's the difference.

And we've gotten extra credit in Harmony! I enjoyed hosting my 22nd town hall meeting that was open to everyone and had no pre-screening of questions. We had great conversations about lowering costs, taking on corruption, and investing in our small towns instead of data centers.

It's getting more expensive to raise a family these days, with childcare & healthcare becoming less accessible, and schools & nutrition programs continuing to be underfunded. My wife Molly and I are raising 4 boys, and I look forward to championing parents and families in Congress.

I tell my students it's okay to be wrong if I call on them, but they should at least try to give an answer.

Jake Johnson @jakejohnsonmn.bsky.social · 23/09/2026

Congressman Finstad took tens of thousands of dollars from a Chinese state-owned corporation, and then voted to protect them from lawsuits and make it easier for them to buy more of our farmland.

It's not Red vs. Blue, it's them vs. you.

A dreary Saturday was no match for us in Worthington! I had a great time enjoying King Turkey Day and meeting lots of folks. Thanks to everyone who walked along with me!

Jake Johnson @jakejohnsonmn.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

I'm proud to be endorsed by Beth Benike, a 10-year Army veteran and the 2025 Minnesota Small Business Person of the Year, who couldn't even get a meeting with Congressman Finstad as he voted for tariffs that harmed her small business.

2208

Jake Johnson @jakejohnsonmn.bsky.social · 20/09/2026

We need a congressman who'll support our small business owners, not refuse to meet with them and then vote for massive tariffs that threaten to wipe them out. In Congress, I'll vote against these tariffs and work to make sure that southern Minnesota's small businesses have what they need to thrive.

Vikings prediction today is short and sweet. Flores defense slows Caleb Williams and Ben Johnson enough for Chill Will to kick a game winning field goal as time expires. Vikings 24 Bears 23

Historic flooding hit the New Richland area today, shutting down roadways and damaging folks' homes and businesses.

Jake Johnson @jakejohnsonmn.bsky.social · 19/09/2026

I visited Bleed Heart Floral in the Mazeppa area this week, and I listened to their concerns with the proposed massive 765kW power line that would run right through their farm and surrounding community, likely putting them out of business.

1103

Jake Johnson @jakejohnsonmn.bsky.social · 19/09/2026

We've held a public, in-person town hall meeting in each of the 21 counties in our district, but why stop there? We're going for extra credit! I'll be in Harmony next Saturday at 6pm to hear unscreened, unfiltered questions from an audience open to EVERYONE. See you there!

Another debate is on! This means there'll be one on October 8th, aired by KEYC and KTTC, and then another on October 13th, aired by KAAL.

Great to be at the Main Street Alliance CD1 Candidate Forum last night in Red Wing!

Jake Johnson @jakejohnsonmn.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

We need a REAL ban on stock trading for members of Congress and the executive branch, including their families. It's time to stop them from lining their own pockets at the public's expense.

Jake Johnson @jakejohnsonmn.bsky.social · 16/09/2026

We can protect and fund Social Security for many more decades if we just make high income earners pay as much as we do.

1147

Jake Johnson @jakejohnsonmn.bsky.social · 16/09/2026

I'm running for Congress to bring down costs, fight corruption, and invest in our small towns, and I'll collaborate with anyone, regardless of party, to do it.

Congress seems to have forgotten that they work for us and not their party leaders and corporate donors. This November, let's remind them who the real bosses are.

Jake Johnson @jakejohnsonmn.bsky.social · 14/09/2026

🚨 OUR SECOND AD JUST DROPPED 🚨 Congressman Finstad took tens of thousands of dollars from a Chinese state-owned corporation and data center companies, and then voted to help them at our expense. I won't take any money from corporations, and I'll work for us in Minnesota, not for China or Big Tech.

Jake Johnson @jakejohnsonmn.bsky.social · 14/09/2026

What a game! Fourth quarter was insane, and my 41-17 prediction from yesterday didn't end up looking too bad in the end. SKOL!

Wishing a sweet and peaceful new year to everyone celebrating Rosh Hashanah in southern Minnesota and beyond. Shanah Tovah!

Twenty-five years ago this morning, our country was attacked. We still mourn the nearly 3,000 people we lost, and we honor the first responders who ran towards the danger, many of whom paid the ultimate price. (1/2)

Jake Johnson @jakejohnsonmn.bsky.social · 11/09/2026

It's Red, White, and Blue, not Red versus Blue. I've got no interest in serving national party leaders who don't know a thing about southern Minnesota. Which is unfortunately what Congressman Finstad did when he went to Washington.

Jake Johnson @jakejohnsonmn.bsky.social · 11/09/2026

Great to be in Winona yesterday to listen and answer questions about how I would combat the high cost and lack of availability of housing in towns all across southern Minnesota.

🚨 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:

Jake Johnson @jakejohnsonmn.bsky.social · 10/09/2026

Our campaign is all about standing up for hardworking families. I’m proud to have the support of the Minnesota State Council of Machinists as we fight for lower costs, higher pay, and better working conditions for the people of southern Minnesota.

1145

Jake Johnson @jakejohnsonmn.bsky.social · 09/09/2026

I've been optimistic since 1983. Skol.

Jake Johnson @jakejohnsonmn.bsky.social · 08/09/2026

Today, I celebrated Labor Day the right way at the UFCW Picnic in Austin! I had a lot of great conversations, and the common thread was that everything has become too expensive for hardworking families.

1158

Jake Johnson @jakejohnsonmn.bsky.social · 07/09/2026

Happy Labor Day! I’m so proud to have the support of unions across our district and state, and I’ll always stand with working families here in southern Minnesota.

1127

Jake Johnson @jakejohnsonmn.bsky.social · 07/09/2026

On this Labor Day, I'm proud to share that I've just been endorsed by United Steelworkers District 11. USW is the largest industrial union in North America, representing ~850,000 workers and retirees, including iron ore miners, manufacturing workers, and health care workers.

Jake Johnson @jakejohnsonmn.bsky.social · 06/09/2026

If you send me to Congress this November, then both Nancy Pelosi and Brad Finstad won’t be there next year. That would be a win for us, and a loss for the corporate donors who are building data centers, raising gas prices, and profiting off endless wars.

Jake Johnson @jakejohnsonmn.bsky.social · 06/09/2026

Thank you to everyone who joined our two community roundtables in Faribault today! It was a productive morning hearing concerns about a range of topics, such as healthcare and education.

Jake Johnson @jakejohnsonmn.bsky.social · 05/09/2026

I was honored and humbled to see this beautiful piece in The New Ulm Journal yesterday. Thank you for your faith, Sarah.

Jake Johnson @jakejohnsonmn.bsky.social · 04/09/2026

Why would members of Congress get paid during a government shutdown, while TSA workers don’t? It should be the other way around.

2159

Jake Johnson @jakejohnsonmn.bsky.social · 02/09/2026

Congressman Finstad, if you ever want to know what a public, in-person town hall looks like, feel free to reach out! I've got 21 examples to share with you.

2195

Jake Johnson @jakejohnsonmn.bsky.social · 01/09/2026

I'm not going to DC to work for corporate donors. In fact, I don't even have any. I’m going to work for the people of southern Minnesota. Those are the people who’ve shown up at my town halls, and they’re the people I’ll be fighting for in Congress.

0238

Jake Johnson @jakejohnsonmn.bsky.social · 31/08/2026

I was thrilled to be out knocking doors in Claremont yesterday, hearing from folks about their frustration with the decisions being made in DC, and letting them know about our campaign to make life cheaper and easier!

Jake Johnson @jakejohnsonmn.bsky.social · 31/08/2026

At the beginning of this campaign, I made a pledge to hold a free, public, in-person town hall meeting in each of the 21 counties in our district, never prescreening any audience members or their questions. Today, I fulfilled that promise, holding #21 in West Concord, Dodge County.

Jake Johnson @jakejohnsonmn.bsky.social · 28/08/2026

The federal government is trying to cut the public out of decisions about massive data center projects. And Congressman Finstad takes tens of thousands of dollars from the companies behind these data centers. I don't take money from corporations and I do take data centers seriously.

Jake Johnson @jakejohnsonmn.bsky.social · 27/08/2026

Grateful for the chance to speak with educators in Owatonna yesterday! We chatted about the importance of investing in our public schools, a key pillar of every community.
