Agweek: Jake Johnson calls out farm struggles including tariffs and lack of representation in rural Minnesota
On July 29th, Agweek wrote an article about Jake Johnson's appearance and remarks at a Goodhue County Farmers Union meeting. Quotes from the article include:
“During a visit to a Goodhue County Farmers Union meeting, the U.S. House Candidate said farmers need affordability, not more bureaucracy.”
“Johnson, who is a math teacher at Mayo High School in Rochester, said a lack of a farm bill is a major issue for farmers in the district. He also said his campaign is proactively focusing on affordability, and bringing down the cost of things for farmers and all citizens in the district.”
“I think there’s a lot of people, whether they’re red, in the middle, or blue, who are looking for authenticity, are looking for new ideas, and recognize that Washington has sort of sold us out to the highest bidder.”
