This is an honor to be recognized by President Trump as a candidate he trusts to deliver for our state and our country. He has put his confidence in me months before endorsements will be considered because he sees this western Minnesota district as mission-critical to advancing the America First agenda in Congress.
And he’s right.
Minnesota has a U.S. Senate seat up for grabs next year. Election data shows that we lift other Republican candidates on the ballot! Our strong Get Out The Vote program can help send one more filibuster-breaking vote to D.C. His endorsement is a signal to unite behind my campaign and be a part of a winning team in 2026.
Everything I have been working for—investing in rural communities, defunding sanctuary cities, securing our border, creating economic growth through lower spending, taxes, and regulations, and especially protecting life and family values—aligns directly with President Trump’s priorities.
But, John, an early endorsement raises the stakes. It energizes local Democrats who are riding a wave of momentum with No Kings rallies and communication networks funded by coastal, elite dark money. Their goal is to erode support for President Trump and the America First agenda so they can retake the House—like they did in 2018.
That’s why President Trump and I need you now. Not later. Not “closer to the election.” Early support leads to early organizing, which wins in the long-run battles.
Can I count on you today to help us defend this seat and keep the America First movement on track?
