Today, state legislators Liz Boldon, Luke Frederick, Tina Liebling, and Andy Smith are endorsing Jake Johnson as he runs for Congress in Minnesota's first congressional district.

"Thank you to these community leaders who are endorsing our campaign for Congress today," said Jake Johnson. "As advocates for Southern Minnesota in the state legislature, they understand the vital importance of having a champion for Southern Minnesota in the federal government as well."

“Jake Johnson’s experience as a teacher and union leader as well as his commitment to listen and show up are exactly what the people of CD1 deserve," said State Senator Liz Boldon, SD 25. "I’m thrilled to support him and can’t wait for his leadership and hard work in Congress.”

"I fully support Jake Johnson for Congress," said State Representative Luke Frederick, HD 18B. "The people of southern Minnesota will get someone who actually shows up in all communities and listens to them. He will fight for working people over wealthy elites, and will actually bring our southern Minnesota values to Washington D.C."

“Jake Johnson is just the leader we need at this critical moment when our constitutional democracy is under attack," said State Representative Tina Liebling, HD 24B. "Jake understands that Congress can’t be a rubber stamp for any president. He will stand up to corruption and billionaires. He will never forget where he came from, and that he works for us.”

"Jake Johnson is exactly the kind of person we need in Washington: a good listener who is full of grit and determination, and most importantly, compassion," said State Representative Andy Smith, HD 25B. "Jake Johnson will stand up to the rich and powerful who are pushing us down, and he will fight for every Minnesotan in the First District to live a flourishing life.”
