I'm honored to be endorsed by the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers and Trainmen in our campaign for Congress.

As the oldest rail labor union in North America, and as a division of the Teamsters Union, the BLET represents over 1,000 active and retired members across Minnesota.

Proud to see this.
Thank you to Senator Tina Smith for endorsing our campaign for Congress today!

She's been fighting to make healthcare more affordable and accessible, and I’m grateful for her support as we work to give this district a representative who stands up for working families.

It was so great to speak with 200+ folks at a chili feed in Red Wing this weekend. People braved a snowy, cold night to come out and chat about how we can invest in our local communities, rather than tearing them apart.

Fantastic letter by Jake.
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.
