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

Here's an excerpt from our town hall announcement yesterday on KTTC! I'm looking forward to hearing from southern Minnesotans in each of our 21 counties this summer.

I'm honored to have just been endorsed by the SEIU MN State Council, an organization representing more than 70,000 workers across Minnesota, including the healthcare, service, and home care workers who help keep our communities strong and healthy.

As a public school teacher running against a multimillionaire, I'm proud to have working people on my side.

BIG NEWS: We just announced the schedule for 21 town hall meetings!
This summer, we'll be holding an in-person town hall meeting in every county across MN-01, because you deserve a representative who will show up, listen, and work to solve problems.

That's why I'm visiting all 21 counties this summer to hear directly from the people of southern Minnesota. Every town hall will be open to the public, and I'll take questions from the audience without any pre-screening or gatekeeping.

Inflation just hit 4.2%, which means that our gas, food, and clothing is getting even more expensive. Costs are going up this quickly because of the Iran War, which Brad Finstad keeps voting to continue. I'd vote to end it.

Brad Finstad voted the party line and couldn't pick up the phone line.

I was glad to meet with farmers and neighbors out near Beaver Creek, learning firsthand about problems they're facing and how we can work to solve them. The best ideas for Rock County are going to be found in Rock County, not Washington, so it's important to show up and listen.

It was great to kick off a door knock in Rochester this afternoon! Thank you to all the volunteers who spent part of their Sunday talking with neighbors about the issues that matter most to them and the upcoming election.

I enjoyed walking in this year’s Buffalo Days Parade and getting to meet lots of folks out in Luverne today! Glad to get a chance to let people know what this campaign’s about: making life cheaper and easier.

I stopped by the Veterans Memorial in Luverne today to pay my respects to the brave Americans who stormed the beaches of Normandy on D-Day 82 years ago today.
Their extraordinary courage, sacrifice, and patriotism helped secure freedom and opportunity for generations. Today, we honor their service and remember all those who have worn the nation’s uniform in defense of our great country.

Great to meet and chat with folks at Riverfront Games in Red Wing on Tuesday. Thanks to everyone who shared with me about how life is becoming too expensive and challenging here in southern Minnesota, and how they want a representative who actually does something about it.

I’m honored to have @PeteButtigieg'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.

You may have gotten a call from Brad Finstad last night inviting you to a fake "telephone town hall" with no prior notice. Here's our statement:

Another day, another predictable vote from our congressman to keep gas prices sky high.
