Congressman Pat Ryan endorses Jake Johnson in MN-01
Ryan: "Jake Johnson is a man of the people who is going to fight for working people."
This morning, Congressman Pat Ryan endorsed Jake Johnson for Congress in Minnesota’s first congressional district. Congressman Ryan has given and helped raise more than $1 million for candidates he has endorsed since last September.
“Jake Johnson is a man of the people who is going to fight for working people,” said Pat Ryan. “A lifelong public school teacher who worked hard to achieve his own American Dream, Jake is now running a strong grassroots campaign to make life affordable for the next generation of southern Minnesotans. He’s a public servant that’s going to stand up to the big corporations and corrupt interests that have taken over our politics and our economy, and I’m proud to support him in flipping Minnesota’s first congressional district.”
"I'm honored to have Congressman Ryan's endorsement,” said Jake Johnson. “He has dedicated his life to serving others, first in uniform and now in Congress. He's never been afraid to take on powerful interests and challenge the status quo to make life fairer and more affordable for working people, and that commitment to pragmatic, principled public service is exactly the kind of leadership I hope to bring to Washington."
