Thanks to folks in Mankato and Northfield who showed up for stops on our Got Your Back Tour today!
I'm running this campaign the same way I'm going to govern - by showing up and listening to Minnesotans all across the state.

Again, still some numbers to count, but if this holds it would be a flip in Minnesota's 18A (Mankato adjacent) which has gone back and forth each of the last couple of cycles.
