HAMBURG, MN — If you’ve ever spent an evening in Hamburg, there’s a good chance you’ve walked through the doors of Know It All’s Bar & Grill.
Long before launching his campaign for the Minnesota House, Ben Wieman was on stage performing at Know It All's for a packed room of neighbors, farmers, and friends.
"I’ll never forget performing at Know It All’s. Hamburg knows how to celebrate, support each other, and show up for their community. That night stuck with me. Now, instead of performing on stage, I’m asking for the privilege to lace up my walking shoes and fight for our small towns in St. Paul." — Ben Wieman
Bringing the Block Party to Hamburg’s Front Porches
Campaigns shouldn't feel like a chore. They should feel like a neighborhood gathering!
On Thursday, October 8, our campaign is bringing that exact energy to town for our Hamburg Block Party Walk. We’re turning an afternoon of door knocking into a lively community event — walking tree-lined streets, catching up with neighbors on their front steps, and making sure Hamburg’s priorities aren't forgotten in the legislature.
Whether you've lived in Hamburg your entire life, cheer on the Hawks every summer, or just want to see a true working farmer representing us at the Capitol, we’d love for you to walk with us.

🙋 Sign Up to Walk With Ben This Thursday!
In a district as rural as 17B, face-to-face conversations decide elections. Corporate PAC ads end up in the recycle bin, but a friendly chat on a front porch changes minds and turns out voters.
