Rochester Education Association Endorses Jake Johnson

The Rochester Education Association — which represents over 1,000 teachers, nurses, and counselors in Rochester Public Schools — is endorsing Jake Johnson in Minnesota’s first congressional district. Jake has spent 20 years as a public school teacher and a leader in REA, where he served on three bargaining teams and helped navigate complex policy and budget debates as its Governmental Relations Coordinator.

“Jake has always put people first,” said Vince Wagner, President of REA. “The Rochester Education Association endorses him because we know he’ll do the same for every citizen in MN-01.”

“As a member of REA for the past 20 years, I know how important it is to stand up for students, educators, and working families,” said Jake Johnson. “I’m grateful for REA’s support as we fight for working people across southern Minnesota.”
