Happy National Farmer’s Day to the hardworking farmers across southern Minnesota and our country!

Jake Johnson @jakejohnsonmn.bsky.social · 11/10/2026

I’m calling on Brad Finstad to return the $23,000 he took from a Chinese state-owned company and from a registered lobbyist for a Chinese data center company.

I was in Austin earlier this week meeting with a group of veterans, hearing their concerns about VA funding as well as the Iran War.

Brad Finstad refuses to sign on to the Epstein Files Transparency Act II discharge petition. If I was your congressman, I'd sign it, and I'd vote to release the Epstein Files in full.

I'm a father of four boys, and my wife and I have gone through the struggle of trying to afford childcare.

Brad Finstad took $23,000 tied to the Chinese Communist Party, including from a data center lobbyist. I'm calling on him to return it.

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

Tariffs are a tax on working families, small businesses, and our farmers. When I go to Congress, I'll fight to end them and make life more affordable in southern Minnesota.

With the team at Big Dog Sports Cafe grabbing a bite before the debate tonight! Someone look after my Clash Royale clan while I’m on stage please.

My opponent Brad Finstad refused to meet with a local veteran after voting to hurt her small business, then disrespected her again by fabricating a photo by removing her from it to score political points:

Jake Johnson @jakejohnsonmn.bsky.social · 08/10/2026

The truth matters. Here is the statement that our campaign issued to the press this morning:

Jake Johnson @jakejohnsonmn.bsky.social · 08/10/2026

This morning, another story broke calling out Brad Finstad for his latest ad, which used a fabricated photo to erase a local veteran and small business owner.

Jake Johnson @jakejohnsonmn.bsky.social · 08/10/2026

First debate is TONIGHT at 6:30! Tune into KEYC or KTTC to hear me share my vision for what good representation in Congress could actually look like, and how it contrasts with Congressman Finstad's record of raising prices and ignoring us here in southern Minnesota.

0103

Jake Johnson @jakejohnsonmn.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

🚨 Today, we’re releasing my personal favorite ad yet. 🚨 The day we launched this campaign, I made a promise: I would hold a public town hall in each of the 21 counties across southern Minnesota.

1165

Jake Johnson @jakejohnsonmn.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

Wondering why Finstad is making things up about me on TV? It's because he knows he can't win without trying to trick us.

Jake Johnson @jakejohnsonmn.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

We have a corrupt government. I wrote a plan to tackle it. You can read it here: jakejohnsonforcongress.com/taxpayerprotectionpledge

Jake Johnson @jakejohnsonmn.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

Hold public town halls. Stand up to anyone in Washington if their actions would hurt southern Minnesota. That's what representation should look like.

Jake Johnson @jakejohnsonmn.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

Election Day is a month away. We've done a lot of work up until now, but the job's not finished. Do your part and sign up to knock doors at jakejohnsonforcongress.com/doors

Jake Johnson @jakejohnsonmn.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

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.

1147

Jake Johnson @jakejohnsonmn.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

I'm fed up with career politicians like Brad Finstad creating more problems here in Southern Minnesota. I'm running for Congress to solve those problems. Listen to our latest radio ad that's hitting the airwaves this week:

1111

Jake Johnson @jakejohnsonmn.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

I'm proud to have the support of the United Auto Workers Minnesota State CAP Council in our campaign to make life cheaper and easier for working families.

1101

Jake Johnson @jakejohnsonmn.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

By now you might be familiar with my minivan from the TV ads. This is how much it cost to fill its tank today. In Congress, I'll work to end the Iran War that Congressman Finstad has voted 6 times to continue, so we can bring down the cost of gas and diesel across southern Minnesota.

Jake Johnson @jakejohnsonmn.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

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!

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

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

24015

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.

Jake Johnson @jakejohnsonmn.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

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.

Jake Johnson @jakejohnsonmn.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

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.

Jake Johnson @jakejohnsonmn.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

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.

1163

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.

Jake Johnson @jakejohnsonmn.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

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.

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!

Jake Johnson @jakejohnsonmn.bsky.social · 18/09/2026

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.

Jake Johnson @jakejohnsonmn.bsky.social · 18/09/2026

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.

2255

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.

02611

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!
