Tim Walz's accomplishments as Governor:

  • Universal free school lunches
  • Paid sick and medical leave
  • Banned non-compete agreements
  • Expanded protections for workers at Amazon warehouses
  • Increased wages for Uber and Lyft workers
  • Legalization of cannabis
  • Achieved substantial police reform including bans on chokeholds, peace officers and deescalation training, and an independent Bureau of Criminal Apprehension
  • 100% clean energy by 2040
  • Sanctuary state for transgender people

And sanctuary state for reproductive healthcare with privacy protections and refusal of subpoena for medical records regarding abortions or other related procedures.

Hunnert percent. He's quietly just bringing it home. I'm honestly a little afraid of what it'd be like without him

I hope he has the dedication to Minnesota to turn down an offer. He's done so much for us as governor.
