You would need to research his record as governor on your own and see if you agree or disagree with his policies. You will get the same right or left leaning opinions on this forum that you will get anywhere else. I suggest you find some neutral sources and form your own opinion.

Free breakfast and lunches for all kids. Even during the pandemic, kids got free food. He likes animals and adopted a rescued cat and a rescued dog. In the 1990s he used GIS with a class to input information and predict where the next genocide would occur; they determined it would be Rwanda, and the next year it came true. (This story was verified by several kids in the class.) He took a class to a rally for a Republican candidate, but one of his kids had a sticker (not a shirt or overt display) for Kerry and they refused to allow him to enter the rally. Walz was upset, said he had a whole class to see the political process, asked questions, etc., but no entry. As a result, he ran for Congress with his students helping raise money for him, and he won.

I have never met him, but MN has been humming along for his terms, and I’ve heard he is a genuine guy. Was he late to bring in the NG during the riots? Yeah, but it’s unrealistic to expect perfection from anyone, especially when calling in the NG could have gone either way (more riots cuz of NG was a real possibility). As long as a person learns from their mistakes (like he did from the 30-year-old DUI), then I’m good.

He abandoned his unit before they were deployed to Afghanistan. He is claiming higher rank than he earned saying he’s a commander major sergeant when he’s not that rank. He says he fought in Afghanistan with “weapons of war” when he never even went. Military veterans are accusing him of “Stolen Valor.” He passed laws/signed executive orders to put tampons in boys bathrooms, make Minnesota a sanctuary state for minors to go there without their parent's consent to have sex changes, so if a parent tried to get their child back it would be against the law, abortion up until birth and sometimes after birth, sanctuary state for abortion, he ordered the police to stand down during the George Floyd riots, mayor repeatedly begged for help from national guard and walz denied him, more than 1500 businesses suffered an estimated $500 million in damages and they received no state or federal assistance to rebuild, 130 police officers were injured. He said socialism is being neighborly, Licenses for all illegal immigrants and automatically registering them to vote in our elections, Set up a hotline to snitch on your neighbors during Covid, he simps for China - the Chinese Communist Party,

Vote wisely.

Signed legislation giving free college tuition to students whose families make less than 80K a year, he created the first standards boards for nursing and home workers, that same board set their minimum wage at 23.00/hr starting in 2027, legalized marijuana, expunged the record of misdemeanor weed convictions, loan forgiveness for nurses. So much good he's done🥰

Jill Biden was a teacher.

I listened to some former students talk about him last night. Sounds like a great guy.

He's a veteran, former public school teacher, former high school football coach, worked in Congress for 12 years, supported by unions, signed a law guaranteeing free breakfast and lunch for all Minnesota school kids, enacted up to 20 weeks up paid family and medical leave,

My husbands aunt and uncle live in MN and absolutely love him! His aunt was a public school teacher his uncle retired navy. They say he is smart, caring, solid committed family man and has a track record of supporting public school teachers and students ! I have no reservations and didn’t know much about him either until now.

So being a Veterans wife of 32 years and have 4/5 of my kids join the military and serve, my biggest issue is the lies he is telling about his 24 years of service in the Army National Guard. He is riding the line of stolen valor when you claim a different rank than the one you retired at. He is claiming Command Sgt Major not the Master Sgt he retired at. He did not complete the required school nor did he serve long enough in that position. He was put in that CSM position as a "frock" (in name only) until he fulfilled the requirements. As a leader he would have found out about the "soon to be deployment" to Iraq and he decided to put his retirement papers in, instead of leading his group of soldiers to war and many are very vocal on how they feel about that. Now he also claims that he carried a "weapon of war" in combat. He did not. He was "deployed" to a non combat place in Italy for a time. I have not seen for how long. It could have been a week or a. few months. The only medal he earned in 24 years of service was an ARCOM. The lowest and EASIEST medal to get. Take this statement for what it is, I think the Harris campaign made a huge mistake in choosing this man. Veterans should and will not put up with that BS.

He he so like us. He is such a good guy who is happy to be what he is. And I love the line he has repeated. “Freedom to the GOP is freedom to go to your doctor's office. Freedom to us is we may not make the same choices but we respect them and our golden rule is "mind your own damn business."

Little known fact*. He not only taught in China for a year but also got married in China.

ActiVote is a great resource in general for finding out both about candidates and your own political views.

Not false. All verifiably true. Look it up.

Wow, some of you can't take the truth. Anybody care to share what you thought broke the rules?

I would definitely get your own in this case. With politics being what it is, you are more likely to get what someone else likes and values versus the things you like and value … in a political candidate.
