Joe Fraser for Us Senate
After honorably serving our country in the U.S. Navy for almost 26 years, I’m running for the U.S. Senate to continue my life of service for the people of Minnesota. We must work to put an end to the crises at our borders, to tackle rising consumer prices and our historic national debt, and to ensure our streets and country are safe from those who wish to cause us harm.
Help Fund the Fight!
