I had the pleasure of teaching across the hall from Tim Walz for several years at Mankato West high school. I was able to witness firsthand the positive impact Walz had on the lives of countless young people.

Walz taught with conviction and passion. He encouraged his students to set high goals for themselves.

Walz is creative in his teachings and consistently encouraged his students to be problem solvers. Walz has the ability to connect with people of all ages — both young and old.

We need to ask ourselves if the political status quo is good enough. If not, then a change is needed this November. A change for the better. A change in the name of Walz.
