I’m running to Save Minnesota and for the Next Generation of Minnesotans.

Jeff Johnson is running for Minnesota governor again but it's not what you might think. No, it's not the former Hennepin County Commissioner Jeff Johnson who ran against Tim Walz in 2018. This Jeff Johnson is a former St. Cloud city council member.

My goal as Governor of Minnesota is to serve Minnesotans with integrity and dedication. I pledge to foster a culture of servant leadership, ensuring every elected official and bureaucrat is focused on the public’s needs.
I am committed to protecting the innocent and supporting the hardworking poor. Poverty and homelessness will be addressed head-on, not hidden away. My administration will aggressively tackle white-collar crime and money laundering, restoring integrity to our state’s financial systems.

I love Minnesota. It is a badge of honor to be called a Minnesotan and I want each and every Minnesotan to have the opportunity to build a better life. For generations, we had an affordable and working economy, great schools and safe streets that allowed people the opportunity to build a better life. In recent years, our state leadership has lost their way and taken their eyes off our North Star.
