The race is over, but the work continues. As Minnesota looks ahead to November, I want to hear from you. Which candidates actually want to change the broken system and which are just running to hold power.

I’m proud of the grassroots campaign we ran without corporate or PAC money, giving voters a real choice and fighting for affordability, accountability, and opportunity. Thank you to everyone who supported us. This campaign may be over, but the work of building a better future continues.

What a day in St. Michael — perfect weather, big crowds, and great conversations all along the parade route. It was the ideal final parade before the primary election on Tuesday August 11th.

I appreciate the opportunity to share my thoughts on important topics impacting our communities. Again, I'm the only candidate in this primary race that responds to questions and is actively campaigning. Congress has lost touch with the people it's supposed to serve.

There is a growing movement to reduce the influence of money in politics. This amendment would begin restoring accountability in our political system—so elected officials answer to constituents rather than wealthy donors and corporate interests.

So many good people at Monticello Riverfest today — a kind wagon‑pulling helper, kids sharing candy with our walkers, lots of loud thank yous, and a garden hose hero at the end that cooled us off. Thank you so much to all of you that made this parade special!

MPR News asked each candidate three simple questions for their voter guide. As expected, Emmer didn’t respond. In my answers, I explain that Congress has forgotten who they serve. If we want real progress on affordability for everyday families, we have to hold politicians accountable.

Affordability is hitting families across MN6 - groceries, gas, construction costs, even family farms. National policies and global events add pressure. Congress has a role in economic stability. It’s not about politics. It’s about the need for leaders who take those concerns seriously.

My word means something to me. I was denied access to GOP voter and delegate data because I didn't pledge to abide by the endorsement. Others pledged, used the data, and are now reversing themselves. I still showed up through the whole process. Showing up matters. Now we all show up on August 11th!

Public service starts with showing up. I learned that firsthand after more than a year (and still waiting) of trying to get any response from Emmer about a veteran’s issue in our area. That silence showed that if we want better leadership, ordinary people have to step up and provide it.

A transparency law means nothing unless it is enforced, and the public has every right to expect Congress to uphold its own mandate. Millions of files, no indictments, and DOJ’s uneven compliance make it clear the Epstein case still lacks the transparency Americans were promised.

Why can't we keep our own oil here? The core issue is US refineries were built for heavy crude imports before we started the light crude export oil boom. Unfortunately, there is no great way to dodge the price impacts of this current global oil supply constraint. open.substack.com/pub/mikefole...

Affordability didn’t suddenly become “BS”, Tom Emmer just stopped wanting to talk about it. His rhetoric flipped, but the reality for families hasn’t. The numbers in MN6 tell a different story than the one he’s selling. open.substack.com/pub/mn06watc...

When representation fails, it’s on everyday people to step up with integrity. On August 11th, Minnesota's open primary gives voters the power to unseat entrenched politicians who’ve abandoned their responsibility to the people. In MN8, Pete Stauber has a primary challenger.
