Affordability is hitting families across MN6 - groceries, gas, construction costs, even family farms. In this Substack post, I talk about what’s driving prices up, how national policies and global events add pressure, and why Congress has a real role in strengthening economic stability. It’s not about politics. It’s about the everyday choices families are making and the need for leaders who take those concerns seriously. mikefoley4real.substack.com/…

It takes new voices to fight for accountability! Current reps won't cosponsor HR5891 (pay consequences for shutdown) because they are fine playing politics while everyday people see the consequences. @Hamilton_CD8 drafted the CAPT Act that lays out exactly the reforms needed. I'm honored to endorse the CAPT Act along with @MorlanOliver

When your congressman doesn't show up, it's time for a new voice to step up and listen to the people.
Unlike Brad Finstad (@RepFinstad), I'm coming directly to you this primary season at local community events around Minnesota's First District. This list includes events up until June 26th when absentee voting begins. We'll be going to more events out west as we hit July and August. We hope to see and hear from you!

Showing up for the constituents. This is what it's about!
Tonight was a good night. Great group come out to the Mora Library to talk about what’s broken in Congress and what we can do about it. We covered the CAPT Act, accountability, and what real representation is supposed to look like. I’m grateful for every person who showed up. This is how it starts, one conversation at a time. More town halls are coming. I hope to see you at the next one. Anthony

No seat should go unchallenged! @MorlanOliver has stepped up to run in the primary against Brad Finstad in CD1. MN has open primaries, no party registration. Show up August 11th to unseat politicians that have forgotten who they work for.
I as well as @Hamilton_CD8 and @MikeFoley4REAL are primary challenging the do-nothing Republican incumbents of our districts here in Minnesota. We are taking on Brad Finstad, Tom Emmer and Pete Stauber; 3 candidates bribed by foreign lobbyists. We need your support to replace the establishment with real grassroots voices:

I was denied access to GOP voter and delegate data because I didn't pledge to abide by the endorsement (a rule created in Dec after I filed with FEC). Others pledged to abide, used the data, and are now reversing themselves. My word means something to me. The endorsement process is broken, but I still showed up and had real conversations. Vote August 11th to unseat entrenched politicians like @GOPMajorityWhip and return this MN6 seat to the people.
NEW: Multiple sources confirm House Speaker Lisa Demuth will announce at 11 a.m. she’s running for governor in GOP primary. You can expect several Republican House members to stand with her in support of her campaign. Her running mate Ryan Wilson will also be there. @KSTP

Real everyday Minnesotans standing up to entrenched politicians! We are spreading the word across small towns this summer to turn out August 11th. I appreciate the support from @Hamilton_CD8 (challenging Stauber). The energy was amazing at the parade and I'm excited for more!
Proud to have walked in @MikeFoley4REAL’s parade yesterday in support of Mike and his campaign! It was great to be out there alongside CD6 voters who are ready for real change in Washington. Check out Mike’s campaign and get involved: MikeFoleyforCongress.com

“Take care of the people at home first,” says Rep. Emmer — 1,023 days since his last in‑person, public event. Yet he spent another week on a media tour in D.C. and New York. Public service starts with showing up. I learned that firsthand after more than a year (and still waiting) of trying to get a response from @GOPMajorityWhip about a veteran’s issue in our area. That silence is what convinced me that if we want better leadership, ordinary people have to step up and provide it.
On CNBC last Friday, House Majority Whip @tomemmer explained his job: "You take care of the people at home first. There's nobody in Washington DC that cast a vote for you, so you take care of those people. You're their voice." The seven days that followed: - 6 national TV/radio hits — CNBC, Fox & Friends, Scott Jennings, Sid Rosenberg, Brian Kilmeade, Maria Bartiromo - 0 documented in-district events - 0 Memorial Day appearances in MN-06 we could find - 1 floor vote his own leadership brought up — and lost - 1,023 days since his last in-person town hall Both of his 2026 challengers — DFL-endorsed @ChapinForMN6 (who officially filed Wednesday) and Marine veteran @MikeFoley4REAL — were in the district. He was in Manhattan, sitting for back-to-back hits the morning after Memorial Day. The standard is his. The receipts are his. Full week, including the fact-check on the "86% Somali" line that doesn't add up the way he tells it: mn06watch.substack.com/p/you… #MN06 #ReceiptsNotRage

On Memorial Day we honor those who gave everything for our country. Grateful for a beautiful day in Elk River and a meaningful ceremony led by local veteran organizations. We honor the fallen through action, living with purpose, passion, and integrity, and telling their stories.

A transparency law means nothing unless it is enforced, and the public has every right to expect Congress to uphold its own mandate. Millions of files, no indictments, and DOJ’s uneven compliance make it clear the Epstein case still lacks the transparency Americans were promised. mikefoley4real.substack.com/…

The primary election is where we unseat entrenched politicians! I have filed to be on the MN primary ballot August 11th. I was joined by @Hamilton_CD8 and @MorlanOliver. We share a goal to bring accountability to representatives that have forgotten who they serve!
