JEFF JOHNSON FOR GOVERNOR

JEFF WILL WIN AS OUR CANDIDATE
JEFF CAN WIN INDEPENDENTS (AND HAS PROVEN IT)
Jeff won independents by 10% in 2014 with a bold, conservative message. He proved we don't need to weaken our conservative message, we just need to choose the right messenger.

JEFF CAN RAISE BIG MONEY (AND HAS PROVEN IT)
Jeff raised over $100,000 in just the first 60 days of this campaign and raised more money than Mark Dayton in 2014. He will compete with any DFL candidate in 2018. Money isn't everything in politics, but it sure helps.

JEFF IS KNOWN AND TRUSTED THROUGHOUT MINNESOTA
Jeff has much higher positive name recognition than any other Republican in this race and will exceed any DFL nominee; nearly a million Minnesotans have voted for Jeff from every corner of the state. Name ID is HUGE in elections and Jeff is the only candidate that can give us this advantage in 2018.

JEFF IS BATTLE-TESTED
Jeff has been fully vetted by the DFL and has proven he won't stumble or abandon his conservative principles under pressure. And there's no substitute for experience; Jeff learned much in 2014 and will use those lessons to win in 2018.


JEFF WILL TAKE BOLD ACTION AS GOVERNOR
JEFF WILL GIVE MINNESOTA BACK TO THE PEOPLE
Jeff will dismantle the Met Council, set term limits, pause refugee resettlement, veto "garbage" omnibus bills, audit all government programs and give people more control over their own property, their healthcare decisions and their children's education.

JEFF WILL PROTECT MINNESOTA TAXPAYERS
Minnesota overtaxes all Minnesotans (not just "the rich"). Our lowest income tax rate is higher than the highest rate in 22 other states! Jeff will demand an across-the-board income tax cut, an Automatic Taxpayer Refund, a cap on property tax increases, elimination of taxation on social security benefits and an end to big corporate tax subsidies. And that will be just the start.

JEFF WILL ACTUALLY SHRINK GOVERNMENT
State spending has grown by over 50% just in the last eight years and, frankly, both political parties have had a hand in it. Jeff is NOT interested in just slowing down the rate of government growth and declaring victory. He will SHRINK the power, size and cost of government ... for real.

JEFF WILL AGGRESSIVELY PURSUE CONSERVATIVE REFORM
Jeff has been an unwavering conservative both in the House and as the lone, loud conservative voice on the Hennepin County Board. He has the most conservative legislative record of any Republican in this race and his 95% lifetime rating with the Minnesota Taxpayers' League is one of the highest in history (and much higher than any other Republican running for governor).


ALL THE PIECES ARE IN PLACE FOR VICTORY
Jeff is both the most conservative candidate in the race AND the best general election candidate in November — a rare mix. He will have the resources needed to run a professional, aggressive statewide operation and the name ID to put the DFL on the defensive from the start. He has led on the issues and substance, fought back against the media, and can articulate conservative principles in a way that grows our movement and wins this election.

These principles guide me. I will not compromise on them (and never have):

I believe that government can only exercise authority granted it in the Constitution.

I believe that people make better decisions about how to spend the money they earn than government.

I am pro-life.
 
I support school choice and the empowerment of parents to control the education of their children.

I believe the right to keep and bear arms for personal protection is a fundamental individual right.

My Christian faith guides every decision I make.

Because Minnesotans know better than government how to spend their money and live their lives.

1 PROTECT MINNESOTA TAXPAYERS
Jeff will demand a cap on property tax increases, an end to big corporate subsidies and the audit of all government programs to determine which are actually producing results.

2 DIMINISH GOVERNMENT INTERFERENCE
Government interference has hurt our small businesses, increased health insurance costs and created a growing achievement gap in our schools. Jeff will solve these problems by delivering Minnesotans less government and more choices.

3 GIVE MINNESOTA BACK TO THE PEOPLE
Jeff will empower Minnesotans, spend money wisely, and bring real reform to St. Paul.
He'll fund roads and buses (not light rail trains), enact term limits, end "garbage"
omnibus bills and dismantle the Met Council.

Jeff Johnson

"Putting the people in charge is the only way to return opportunity and prosperity to all Minnesotans."
