MN-1 hopeful sees Democratic ticket as dream team
WINONA, Minn. — A couple hundred volunteers rallied to support Mn-1 Congressional candidate Jake Johnson, District 26 State Senate candidate Jack Hedin, and 26-A House candidate Dan Wilson. Johnson told the crowd: “This is the most unified and exciting ticket that we have seen in Mn-1 in recent memory. Together we will flip the State House seat, State Senate, and Congressional seat.” The event marked the one-year anniversary of the assassination of Mark and Speaker Melissa Hortman. Said Wilson: “She was the House leader during some of the closest, most consequential elections in our state’s history and she helped win those elections by convincing people to work hard and knock doors.” Wilson claims hundreds of volunteers have signed on for his campaign. He also claims $75,000 in his campaign war chest, which he says is a record.
Verbatim
Wilson: “We can make Winona a growing, thriving city that is the envy of the rest of the state. These things can happen, this future is possible, but first, we must win.”
