Enjoyed launching a doorknock yesterday in Martin County! So grateful for the folks who are spreading the word about our campaign to bring down costs, take on corruption, and invest in our small towns. This race is going to be extremely close, and every conversation makes a difference!

So great to be in Fairmont last night with our next governor! Fairmont is where we launched our campaign, so it was especially meaningful to be back to kick off the final stretch.

Senator Klobuchar’s commitment to showing up everywhere, listening to people, and actually delivering results has been an inspiration for our campaign. It was fantastic to talk about that with everyone last night. 8 days to victory!

Yesterday, I called for abusers in the Epstein Files to be imprisoned. Today, Donald Trump just dumped over $1 million in attack ads against me. If you want a representative that the Epstein Class is scared of, be sure to vote by November 3rd.

I don't care if you're rich, powerful, a Democrat, or a Republican. If you abused children, you should be in prison. It's well past time to release the Epstein Files and lock up the abusers.

🚨 THIS RACE IS TIED 🚨 We were up 2 last week. We are tied now. Finstad's fake attack ads are working, and his Super PACs are flooding in to save him. We're fighting back and just barely keeping pace.

This race is going to be extremely close, and it's going to come down to who knocks more doors, makes more calls, and gets their friends and family to vote. If you want different representation in Washington, now is the time to lock in and get to work: JakeJohnsonForCongress.com/Doors.

I was grateful to be endorsed by the Post Bulletin Editorial Board this morning, following their previous endorsements of my opponent in 2022 and 2024. They see what folks across southern Minnesota are seeing: our congressman doesn't show up, but I do.

Our congressman listens to his donors, but waves off the rest of us. He's never held a public town hall, but he's getting over $700k from corporations. My promise to you is that I'll hold an open, public town hall in each of our 21 counties every term that you send me to Congress.

After endorsing Finstad in 2022 and 2024, the Post Bulletin endorsed our campaign this morning! I enjoyed reading their explanation for why: Finstad doesn't show up for us, and I actually will.

Housing is getting more and more expensive across southern Minnesota. We need to build more housing, end the tariffs, and stop corporate investors from buying up homes and jacking up prices. That's what I'll fight for if you send me to Washington.

I've already held one in each of our 21 counties, and I'll keep doing it if you send me to Congress. Because your representative should listen to you, and that's exactly what I'll do.

Small businesses across southern Minnesota are hurting because of the massive tariffs that Brad Finstad keeps voting to support. I've spoken to lots of small business owners, and they want the tariffs to end. In Congress, I'll vote to end them.

🚨 Cook Political Report just moved MN-01 in our direction again! 🚨 This is one of the most competitive races in the entire country because YOU have donated your time and treasure over and over again to make it happen.

Sargent's Gardens invited both Congressman Finstad and me to come take a look at their grounds, and I was happy to pay them a visit today. We had a productive conversation about how to make the H1A and H2B visa programs work, as well as the importance of structurally pruning my young trees!

NEW POLL ALERT: Jake Johnson has officially taken the lead in the FiftyPlusOne polling average over Rep. Brad Finstad. Jake is a highschool teacher who took the Political Integrity Pledge while Brad has received nearly half a million in corporate cash since 2024.

I was so grateful to be joined by 150+ folks at Minnesota Soybean last night, where I got a chance to share our vision to make life cheaper and easier for folks across southern Minnesota. Thank you to everyone for the support!

I’m grateful to the farmers across southern Minnesota who’ve shared their experiences and concerns with me, and I look forward to solving problems for them in Washington to finally deliver a Farm Bill that works for farmers.

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.

We have to make sure we fully fund healthcare for our veterans, instead of paying for more endless wars in the Middle East. Thank you to everyone who joined me to share their perspective!

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.

We need to make childcare more affordable and accessible for families, which includes making sure childcare providers can stay in the profession and spend less time on paperwork and more time caring for our kids.
