I recently had the privilege of working with Governor Walz on the DNC Rules Committee and visited St. Paul, Minnesota. These experiences have only deepened my admiration for his dedication and leadership. Governor Walz’s journey from a high school teacher and football coach to a dedicated public servant reflects a profound understanding of the challenges faced by working families. His efforts to reduce insulin costs, protect reproductive rights, and advocate for veterans highlight his commitment to policies that directly impact our lives.
