Yesterday Jim Read and Pia Lopez hosted a well-attended, lively, community-building house party in Avon for 7th district congressional candidate Erik Osberg. The photo here, from Erik's campaign FB page, was taken inside Jim and Pia's garage. Erik is a fabulous candidate, running in a very difficult district, but undaunted and full speed ahead. Thank you to all those who attended yesterday, to those who couldn't attend but donated, and to Erik himself for inspiring us.

Stop #292. We had another garage party tonight. Back in Stearns County with our good friends in Avon, MN. Roughly 50ish people were there. My favorite part of these face-to-face events lately is the number of NEW people that are showing up. Of course it is great to reconnect with folks we've met along the way. But when a 1/3 or dare I say 1/2 the room is a 1st timer, that's this thing working. Huge thanks to Pia & Jim for hosting yet again. Another busy weekend lies ahead. Grateful for all the support. ✌️

Truthful signs

It’s better to admit you walked through the wrong door than spend the rest of your life in the wrong room. We’ve heard from voters all across Minnesota’s 6th district who are ready to try a different door.

59 days until Election Day.

Diesel fuel costs hurt farmers & local terminals are out of fuel. Erik Osberg will work for you.
