#FEC filing for #FinstadForCongress includes $10,116.37 received from #EmmerMajorityBuilders

Previously, the Star-Tribune reported that a political group affiliated with #MN06 #TomEmmer plans to invest $600,000 to boost #MN01 #BradFinstad's campaign.

Did you see the email from #BradFinstad stating
" I’m not going to sugarcoat this" ?

The latest #FinstadForCongress fundraising requests states "A new poll from SurveyUSA just came out, and it has me behind in this race.
And it is the second poll in less than a month showing my opponent ahead

#FinstadWatch

In #FinstadForCongress latest fundraising request, #BradFinstad acknowledges that supporters of @jakejohnsonmn.bsky.social "will keep flooding our TV screens and knocking on doors from now until November 3" because everyone knows this is going down to the wire

#TimeForChange in #MN01

Headline "Finstad aide downplays faked photo as issue"

QUERY : Is Aaron Eberhart speaking on behalf of #RepFinstad's congressional staff or as a paid employee ($25,000 per quarter) of the #FinstadForCongress campaign ($2500 per quarter) ?

Remember #BradFinstad ad says he APPROVED THIS MESSAGE

Interesting comment in the latest fundraising appeal from #FinstadForCongress

#RepFinstad (WHO never holds #TownHalls or meets with the public) "on the cost of living, I said what I hear at kitchen tables all across the district. We are still living with the hangover from bad Democratic policies."

#MankatoFreePress online poll yields limited response but indicates why the #FinstadForCongress was doorknocking in #MankatoMN on October 8.

117 people voted allowed #JakeJohnson to outpace #RepFinstad How he’ll fare in the more rural counties in the 1st Congressional District remains to be seen

#FinstadWatch

#RepFinstad knows that he has to replicate his win of #AlbertLea and the #FinstadForCongress campaign is going doorknocking on Oct 12

2024 #BradFinstad got 4,457 votes in Albert Lea
#DFL #MN01 candidate got 3,392
BUT @amyklobuchar.com got 4,263
So there are persuadable voters there

The #FinstadForCongress latest fundraising appeal ($25 or four gallons of diesel) warns that more television ads are coming.

Seems like somebody does not want to hear Republicans saying "This year I cannot vote for Brad #Finstad"
or #BradFinstad sold us out"

#TimeForChange in #MN01

#Trump has had two years with full control of congress and if we reelect a #GOP-controlled Congress will kick #BigInsurance out

#BadNews for #FinstadForCongress donors
$5000 BLUE CROSS BLUE SHIELD ASSOCIATION PAC
$5000 Health Care Service Corp
$2500 CVS Health (Aetna)
$2000 UnitedHealth Group

Regarding #FinstadForCongress commercial citing #NoTaxOnOvertime failing

FYI BLS reports that most employees work under 35 hours so most do not get overtime. Avg overtime per week is 3 hrs

If you earn $20/hr, you got $3.60 which is not enough for a gallon of gas.

Have you seen the latest ad from #FinstadForCongress in which he bashes Walz blaming him for fraud not being detected ?

If his solution is more aggressive #DOJ action, why isn't #RepFinstad supporting more #IRS audits to find fraud and reduce the #NationalDebt ?

Re #HR9576 Fraud Enforcement

When the #FinstadForCongress campaign is losing #MNGOP leaders to endorse @jakejohnsonmn.bsky.social in #MNCD1 #Elections2026, ya gotta see desperation from #BlinkyBrad in his latest fundraising email.

#RepFinstad campaigning on #NoTaxOnTips in hopes that #MN01 voters ignore the #NationalDebt

#FinstadWatch

#RepFinstad questioned as to whether he is worried "about this race"
#BradFinstad answer NOT if you send me a GIFT (aka money)

#FinstadForCongress fundraising email warns don't be "foolish" and ignore the polls; so send $$

NOPE Gas and groceries come first

#TimeForChange in #MN01

Amazing commercial from #FinstadForCongress ... throwing down a ten spot at a bar ... giving #MN01 viewers the impression that he is NOT a multi-millionaire instead he is just one of the boys ... so why is #RepFinstad afraid to hold in person open-to-the-public #TownHalls ?

#FinstadWatch

Before the GBAO poll was released, the #FinstadForCongress was already pleading for more donations and acknowledging "This race is closer than many people realize" and that @jakejohnsonmn.bsky.social is within 3 points, so #RepFinstad wants #MN01 to vote early and send $.
#OustFinstad

As a Mail-In Precinct voter, mine arrived today just as the #FinstadForCongress campaign encourages me to vote early.

#BadNews for #RepFinstad
After supporting #TrumpTariffs, ballooning #NationalDebt, military action in 7 countries (starting a new endless war with #Iran), you don't get my vote.

#FinstadWatch

Wow
I guess the #FinstadForCongress team was correct that the outside money groups will be spending to #FlipMN01 ... proof is that the League Of Conservation Voters, Inc. has authorized $9.23 (Yep NINE DOLLARS)

So much hype, so little accomplishments for #RepFinstad

#OustFinstad

#MN01 constituents have seen a number of commercials telling us to "Thank #RepFinstad" ... so it's appropriate to remember the #FinstadForCongress commercial from #Elections2024

Ask yourself, has #BradFinstad delivered and deserves another term or is it #TimeForChange
youtu.be/jsU_A-hfyqk?...

WOW ... that did not take long.

The #FinstadForCongress is fundraising off the passage of #HR9576 National Fraud Enforcement Division Act which really wasn't a hard sell as 139 Democrats helped #BradFinstad get it approved.

FYI #RepFinstad was just codifying what #Trump has already done.
