Monthly reminder: Many people have a book in them, but it takes a special kind of freak to leave the Land of Laziness, cross the Plains of Procrastination and Insecurity Mountain, find the Blade of No One Made You Do This, and use it to cut your chest open and yank that book out.

It’s a problem when parents and teachers can’t afford basic school supplies, and when students show up hungry on Mondays because there wasn’t enough food at home. I’m proud to have the support of the National Education Association as we fight for Minnesota’s working families.

Name him whatever you last ate 😭

I was a SNAP kid. Now I'm running for Congress against the guy who gutted SNAP.

Thanks to the folks in Houston for coming out for the fall working families social today! I appreciated hearing about your concerns and discussing how we can make life more affordable in southern Minnesota.

I’m Jake Johnson. I’m a math teacher and a union leader running for Congress in MN-01. I’m taking on Congressman Brad Finstad, who takes millions from big corporations and then votes to help them. I’m taking no corporate PAC money, because I work for you.

Happy National Farmers Day to all the hardworking farmers across southern Minnesota! You feed the country and the world, and you deserve elected leaders who work just as hard as you do.

Thanks to the folks in Mower County for inviting me out to their fall chili feed! It was great to talk to nearly 100 people in Austin last night about how we can make life more affordable in southern Minnesota.

You have to name him the last thing you ate

I’m proud to have the support of Beth Benike, the founder of Busy Baby and the 2025 Minnesota small business person of the year. Beth’s story shows how bad policies in Washington, like the tariffs supported by Brad Finstad, are devastating our small businesses and family farms.
