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.

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

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

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.

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:

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

I'm going to go to Congress laser focused on delivering for the working people of southern Minnesota, and I'm honored to have UAW standing with me in that effort.

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

Folks in southern Minnesota are asking for lower prices and access to healthcare, so that's where my focus is. Brad Finstad's corporate tech donors are demanding data centers, so that's where his focus is.

042

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

It's part of a broader pattern of policy decisions that Finstad has supported which have helped China over Minnesota. In Congress, I won't take any money from corporations, and I'll always choose Minnesota over China.

0122

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.

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

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!

0145

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

We need a representative who will lower costs and listen to their constituents, not dodge them while making everything more expensive.

051

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

Thank you to Beth for sharing her story!

010

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

My prayers are with everyone affected by flooding across southern Minnesota, and I'm grateful for the insights I look forward to bringing to the halls of Congress.

072

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

I drove out to see the damage firsthand and met with city officials to learn more about the potential investments that would prevent this from happening in the future, including infrastructure to reroute built-up groundwater.

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

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

Thank you to the folks at Bleed Heart for having me, so that I can carry your voices with me to Washington.

040

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

I'm deeply concerned about how this project is being undertaken, especially with local voices not being incorporated appropriately. We need a far more thoughtful process around how we can build new energy infrastructure without destroying our way of life.

140

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.

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!

2123

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

You can vote TODAY! Head to VoteEarlyMN.com to find your early voting location, then go do it. Remember, every day until November 3rd is Election Day, so don't wait!

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

Looking forward to these two chances to share with Congressman Finstad what I've learned from holding a public, in-person town hall meeting for every county in our district. Hope you tune in and watch!

081

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.

2115

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

I just wish our congressman had been there to take part. Thank you to Main Street Alliance for hosting, and to everyone who showed up to listen and ask questions!

051

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

We had a productive discussion about the ways we can make it easier to start and run a small business in southern Minnesota, along with a host of unscreened and unfiltered questions asked by the audience.

151

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

The Blue Dogs know just how important it is to have pragmatic problem-solvers who are willing to work with anyone to deliver for working families, and I’m grateful to have them standing with us on our campaign.

030

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.
