Jake Johnson Holds Town Hall in Watonwan County

ST. JAMES, MN — On Monday evening, Jake Johnson held a town hall meeting with over 50 people in St. James, Watonwan 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 term limits, investing in education, and making healthcare affordable and accessible.

“I appreciated the chance to hear from folks in St. James and the broader Watonwan County area,” said Jake Johnson. “We had many good conversations at our town hall, which was the fifth town hall of the 21 we’re hosting this summer. I’m proud of the campaign we’re building to make life more affordable here in southern Minnesota.”

Jake was introduced by Harold Wolle, former president of the National Corn Growers Association and the Minnesota Corn Growers Association. 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.
