Jake Johnson Holds Town Hall in Mower County

AUSTIN, MN — On Thursday evening, Jake Johnson held a town hall meeting with over 70 people in Austin, Mower County. The meeting was open to all members of the public, was widely advertised beforehand, and had no pre-screening of questions. Questions covered topics such as protecting Social Security, reducing U.S. involvement in foreign conflicts, and getting back to a Congress that actually does the work of the people.

“Thank you to the Republicans, Independents, Democrats, and apolitical folks who came out to our town hall in Austin tonight,” said Jake Johnson. “I appreciated the chance to hear from everyone and talk about the issues that are vital to the people of southern Minnesota, and I’m excited to keep hosting town hall meetings across the district this summer.”

Jake was introduced by John Wright, a former KAUS radio host. As many voters know, Finstad instead opts for what he calls “tele town halls”, which are unannounced phone calls that only go to a set of preselected individuals chosen by Finstad’s office, where they can hear Finstad respond to questions with no proof that those questions are not presubmitted.
