Joe Brothers didn't plan to run for political office but, with the actions by ICE and the solvable problems within our state, he decided to put his life experiences, collaborative spirit, and professional expertise to work for his neighbors.

Joe Brothers, started working at a young age delivering newspapers in his hometown. He graduated from high school, then college, married the love of his life, taught for 11 years, coached football and basketball, and started a family. When his third child was born and the costs of day care were as much as or more than his paycheck, his wife and him discussed and decided to have him become a stay at home dad. He stayed home for five years while his children were young and then, once his youngest started kindergarten, he started working for Wells Fargo. While at Wells Fargo, he rose through the company to become a Vice President in the Home Mortgage division. He is looking to bring the experiences of his life and work plus the experiences of others to the State Capitol in St. Paul to solve the problems facing the state of Minnesota. He will remain focused on the issues that matter the most to the people of Waconia, Victoria, Chaska, Cologne, Mayer, and the surrounding townships.

He has three adult children and lives in the beautiful small town of Victoria and absolutely loves the beautiful downtown with the bike path running along the old railroad tracks and Carver Park Reserve within minutes. He likes hearing the families and kids playing, the swans, cranes, geese, duck, and the occasional pheasant flying, and the birds chirping. On certain days, when the wind is blowing, he can smell the manure from the dairy farm across the road while walking around his neighborhood with the family dog, Bentley. It reminds him of home and brings back memories from growing up in Montana.
