Brad Finstad took over $22,000 from a large Chinese-owned pesticide company, and then he voted against a bipartisan amendment to remove a provision from the farm bill that would make it harder to sue pesticide companies when they break state law.

To fix our broken politics, we need to stop thinking it’s Red Team versus Blue Team, and start realizing it’s the elites versus the rest of us. Thanks to everyone who came to our Mankato Meet & Greet earlier this week so we could chat about how we can solve problems for southern Minnesota together.

Goodhue, Owatonna, Waseca, and Claremont all in one day last weekend! So great to chat with so many folks about our goals to make life cheaper and easier in southern Minnesota.

BIG NEWS! Our petition to get on the ballot has gathered over 4,000 signatures, beating our original goal by over 1,000.

Happy National Agriculture Day! Our farmers work so hard for us, and deserve someone in Congress who will work hard for them.

We've collected over 2,000 signatures to get onto the ballot this November! Help us get to 3,000 signatures by going to jakejohnsonforcongress.com/signatures

One year ago today, we launched our campaign to bring a voice for working people back to Congress. From day one, we chose to do things a different way: actually meeting with voters, not taking money from corporations, and collecting signatures to get on the ballot.

I’m honored to have @petebuttigieg.bsky.social's endorsement in our campaign to solve problems for southern Minnesota. I’m ready to fight for working families to create a government that works for everyone, not just the wealthy.

These reckless tariffs are a bad deal for southern MN. Right after Brad Finstad voted to keep these tariffs, I had a good conversation with farmers in New Ulm about how the tariffs are harming them. I promised them that a vote for Jake Johnson is a vote to end the tariffs.

I had a great time speaking with folks in Blue Earth and Nicollet counties last week about making life affordable and rebuilding the American Dream. We’ve got work to do!

Trump doesn’t seem to know if we’re winding down or escalating the war in Iran. Several weeks in, he still can’t clearly define the objective and Congress still hasn’t voted. If there’s no coherent strategy and no end game, why are Americans still risking their lives?
