Narrator: “Sometimes an everyday person comes along, and helps put the impossible within our reach. The coach, who could see the championship three years before the big game. The teacher who inspires generations one by one.
The soldier who served for two decades, but ready when they attacked. Everyday heroes, right here in Minnesota, Tim Walz is one of those everyday people. Coach to the state champs. Teacher of the Year. Command Seargent Major. Retiring four years late after a tour supporting the war in Afghanistan.”

Walz: “I’m not a politician, and I never planned to run for office. I’ve tried to live my life like most people, trying to do right by my family and my neighbors. But the same bad news night after night means we can’t just sit on the sidelines.

Our troops deserve a plan to win the peace. We can find solutions for health care and education. It’s time to put the people’s priorities first. But to change the priorities, we need to change the Congress. I’m Tim Walz, and I approve this message.”
