Wow, a somewhat surprising pick by Harris but definitely an excellent and smart pick!
Walz is a former high school social studies teacher, high school football coach (took over as defensive coordinator for a program that was 0-27 and helped lead them to a State Championship), served for 24 years in the National Guard retiring as a Command Sergeant Major, 12 years in the House, and has been a great Governor for Minnesota. An impressive biography and one that is going to resonate well throughout our country.
Walz was a centrist Democrats while in Congress but yes, he has been a more progressive Governor. As a progressive, I'm thrilled that Harris chose Walz. Surprised too, because I thought she was going to choose Shapiro. I'm glad she chose Walz over Shapiro though.
Harris/Walz '24!
