Remember Minnesota’s Second District Congressman Jason Lewis complaining over the size and associated costs of the federal criminal code and prison system ? “Criminal justice reform is one of my absolute priorities”, said Congressman Lewis in a November 7, 2017 press release. Adding, “There are better ways to spend Americans’ tax dollars and keep our […]
In the previous MN Political Roundtable review of “Finstad In The Field” (aka Minnesota’s First District Representative Brad Finstad discussing his activities to “deliver real results for a richer, safer and freer Minnesota and America”), it was noted that his legislation presents a great sounding title but reading the bill may make you question the […]
The January 13th issue of “Finstad in the Field” presents the legislative efforts of Brad Finstad to “deliver real results for a richer, safer and freer Minnesota and America” … promoting two bills that he has authored : Honoring the Late Congressman Jim Hagedorn This week I introduced two pieces of legislation to honor the life […]
Not sure if every constituent of Minnesota’s First District has signed up for Brad Finstad’s weekly update, but they provide a great insight into his views of the issues.

There was some angst in some sectors of the Party Of Trump that Brad Finstad was not “Trumpian” enough resulting in a Special Election Primary that was extremely close… well, those concerns can be laid to rest based on Congressman Finstad’s votes during his first full week in Congress. All ya gotta do is check […]
Jim Hagedorn’s death could have meant the end of the House Ethics Committee investigation into whether he had allowed the use of official funds for impermissible expenditures … but the Committee has not announced its conclusion yet.

The results are not official but it appears that unless Jeremy Munson can convince election officials to find 389 votes, Brad Finstad will be the MNGOP primary winner. Oh, so close …. too bad that J R Ewing was on the Republican ballot … his ninth place finish of 157 votes would have helped. Worse […]
Dear Residents of the First Congressional District, I’m Jeremy Munson, and I am running to represent you in the US Congress. You will soon be bombarded with political mailers from multiple candidates using buzzwords and providing little to no meaningful information, or worse yet, negative attacks.
