So come join us and help us get this campaign off the ground.

We're not only going to oust one of Elon Musk's biggest cheerleaders in Washington, but we're also going to elect an exceptional public servant to Congress:

And Jake is a strong candidate to get the job done.

He raised over $100K on his first day.

And he actually LISTENS to voters — which is great for the people of southern MN, and less fun for his CM who has to pry him from crowds when we're running late

Not to mention just how badly southern MN is being hit by federal policy right now.

Our district's family farms and small businesses are being hammered by the tariffs, and our largest employer (the Mayo Clinic) is being threatened by DOGE and NIH cuts.

This is an R+6 seat.

Four of the last six races for this seat in #MN01 came within 4 points, and this race came within 0.5 points in the last Trump midterms.

Walz carried the district 7 times in the past 2 decades, and Klobuchar carried the district in 2024.

Now this is the part where people usually tell me "that's all fine and good, but MN-01 is a safe R seat"

Look, I learned math from the best. And I'm damn sure this is a winnable race.

You all need to go run your silly little election models again.

Meanwhile, our congressman Brad Finstad is nowhere to be found in our district — while he's in Washington working to gut the social safety net, support the tariffs, and ban nearly all abortions nationwide.

Also, he doesn't do his job? Like he just sucks at constituent services??

As a leader in his union, he's played a key role in negotiating contracts to improve working conditions for 1,000+ employees of Rochester Public Schools.

As a local advocate, he's helped improve school funding, environmental protections, and financial literacy in southern MN.

I saw him truly break new ground to help his students.

For example, he started a remedial math class for students at risk of dropping out. Not only did it help keep them in school, but dozens of these students went on to take accelerated math courses.

Jake is a lifelong resident of the district, the son of a garbage collector and a meter reader.

Programs like Medicaid and SNAP kept him on his feet, and Pell Grants gave him the chance to go to college.

He's been paying it forward as a public school teacher the past 19 years.
